How can an at-bat be determined on the first pitch? There are so many variables, pitch around, pitch to contact, throw over, and defensive settings. Take pitch, hit, and run, run and hit, steal, bunting, etc? And all these factors can change multiple times in one AB, even in one pitch mode

It isn't determined on the first pitch. It isn't determined on the last pitch either.
