Houston Astros Intentional Walks Charts and Records
About Intentional Walks
Intentional walks (IBB) are walks issued to hitters to avoid risking a strong hitter having a damaging at bat. Historically a pitcher would need to throw 4 intentional balls, however newer rules remove this requirement and batters can be walked without pitches using a signal to the umpire. Generally, for Intentional Walks, higher is better. (Source)
