Baseball - Seven ways for batter to reach first base. Are there others?
Posted on 6/17/18 at 12:11 pm
Posted on 6/17/18 at 12:11 pm
In discussion with a buddy we came up with this list:
Base Hit (single, double, HR, etc)
Walk
Error
Fielder's Choice
Hit by Pitch
Dropped Third Strike
Defensive Interference (including catcher interference).
We considered a couple of others:
Batted ball hits baserunner - batter awarded first base.
Catcher fields bunt, throw to first hits batter running towards first.
In the former, the batter is awarded a hit, so this is just a subsection of base hit.
In the latter, the catcher is charged with a throwing error, so this is just a error.
Are we missing any?

Intentional Walk. Scored differently than a normal walk if we're being sticklers here

Mickelson putts a bunted ball before it quits rolling.

Well yeah,they write IBB in the score book but in official stats an IBB is included in the walk total.

Balk with a 3 ball count and without runners on base?

Before replay, blown call by umpire.

Batted ball hits runner is going to be a fielders choice

Actually, you're wrong. Technically, if an umpire deems a pitcher delivers a pitch to intentionally catch the batter off guard it is ruled a ball. A quick pitch is an illegal pitch and can be called a ball as well. So if there were three balls in either situation the batter would be awarded first base.
If a pitcher doesn't deliver the ball within twelve seconds of the pitcher being ready and the batter being alert and in the box it can also be called a ball.

Wrong. It's a base hit.

A batted ball hitting a runner before the defense can make a play on it, would be runners’ interference. That runner is out. A ball that hits a runner, after the infield (other han the pitcher), has been able to make a play on the ball, is safe.

There are only 7 ways to reach 1st base, some say 8 if they separate catcher's interference from defensive interference.
hit, walk, error, FC, HBP, dropped 3rd strike, defensive interference
And all 7 have occurred in the same major league game, six times (half the games were extra inning affairs)
The only team to do in the same game was Baltimore in 2000.

I was the home plate umpire for 16 yr old girls softball team, pitcher struck out 6 batters in one inning, no one scored.

Why the dowvotes?
A balk, without runners on base, is an illegal pitch and is deemed a ball. If the batter had 3 balls before the illegal pitch, then he is awarded the third base.
