Stat help

PrintI could use some help with a stat that has become more and more popular the last few years.
Josh Lewin was talking about The Face's batting average against fastballs tonight. How is a hitter's batting average against a certain pitch calculated? If a hitter takes a 3-0 fastball for a strike does that count as an out? Is a fastball that is fouled off calculated as a strike, therefore, an out? If a hitter takes a swing at a fastball for the sole purpose of aiding a teammate who is trying to steal a base (not actually trying to make contact) does that count as an out?
Can someone please give me an explanation on this one?

Thanks
I figured there were standard qualifications, I just didn’t know what they were. I appreciate the help.
