A Bean-ball is a pitch, similar to a brushback pitch but actually intended to hit the batter it is thrown at, often in the head.

It is rarely used as a strategic weapon, and mostly used to vent anger and frustration; however, batters facing known headhunters are given a reason to fear a beanball and may alter their approach to hitting in the interests of self protection, perhaps giving some strategic advantage to the pitcher.

Some pitchers have been known to throw beanballs in response to giving up home runs. Teams with rivalries often find several beanballs exchanged a season. Beanballs can sometimes lead to fights, charging the mound, and bench-clearing brawls.

Because of the hazards of the pitch and the possibility of fights, umpires will often warn teams, after beanballs or fights have occurred, that any pitcher who throws at a batter will be ejected from the game with a mandatory one day suspension for the pitcher's manager. Throwing at batters can sometimes lead to suspension for a number of games as well.

Managers may also be ejected, if in the umpire's judgement, they ordered their pitcher to throw a beanball.
