How to say "batting" in Japanese

• バッティングCommon
  nounThe katakana loanword for the baseball sense: the act of batting, hitting the ball with the bat. Typical context is talk about a player's batting in a game, as opposed to pitching or fielding.

• 打撃だげきJLPT N1approx.Common
  nounThe native term for batting in baseball: the act or skill of hitting, the offensive side of the game. Away from baseball the same word means 'a blow or shock', so context decides.
• わたJLPT N3approx.Common
  nounNot the sporting sense at all: this is the material — soft fibrous batting or wadding used as padding, as in quilts or cushions. The same word also means 'cotton'.
  茶碗ちゃわんを投なげれば綿わたにて受うけよ。↗

  A soft answer is a specific cure of anger.
