Question about English (US)
A: "Strike! Saburo let another strike go by! Now it's two balls and two strikes on him."
B: "It was a low inside fast ball, the hardest ball to deliver to the outfield, and he know it well."
A: "The bases are loaded, so all he needs is a sacrifice fly to the outfield."
B: "Looks like he's determined to wait for the right pitch to come." Does this sound natural?

A little unnatural
It's almost perfect!! Only a few little things; A: would probably sound better to say.... Now it's two balls and two strikes for him."
B: I'm not sure if you meant "does" or "knows" and he does it well ( meaning that he performed well ) or and he knows it well ( meaning that the batter knows that what he did required skill to accomplish ) Everything else looks great though!

Thank you so much for the kind comment.
What I wanted say was, 'he knows that low inside fast ball is the hardest to hit as far as the outfield, and that's why he let the strike go.'
What would be a better expression?
