About Intentional Walks

Intentional walks are walks issued by pitchers to avoid risking a strong hitter having a damaging at bat. Historically a pitcher would need to throw 4 intentional balls out of the strike zone, however newer rules remove this requirement and batters can be walked without pitches using a signal to the umpire. Generally, for Intentional Walks, lower is better. (Source)
