What else can I help you with?
In slow pitch softball if the batter-runner is hit by his own batted ball while running to first base he is out can the runners on base advance or must they remain at their base?
batter is out, runners do not advance
Can a batter that has been walked take off to second?
When a batter is walked, they can only go to first base at first. Once they are on first base and the next batter is up to bat, they can steal, or advance on a base hit.
Runner on second is hit by the batted ball while running to third. How is this recorded?
dead ball, the runner is out and the putout goes to the closest fielder...the batter gets credit for a hit and if there are other runners that are forced to advance by the batter getting first (in this case, a runner on first), he gets to advance also...if there are 2 outs, the batter still gets credit for a hit but the inning is over
If a batter strikes out is then hit by the pitched ball the batter is out but what is the status of the baserunners?
Ball's dead and runners can't advance.
Can a runner advance when the batter gets a hit but is called out because he stepped out of the batter's box?
If a batter hits the pitch, either fair or foul, with all of one or both feet completely out of the batter's box, he's out. The ball is dead, and no runners can advance.
If a pitched ball hits the ground first then strikes a player is the call a ball or a walk?
it is a hit by pitch (or a walk).Clarification:The answer above makes it seem a HBP and a Walk are the same -- they are not.. they are scored different and effect stats different. If the umpire calls it ball 4 and says it never hit the batter the ball is still in play and the batter gets a Walk -- If the umpire determines the ball hit the batter, the batter gets a HBP (hit-By Pitch) and it is a dead ball --- runners advance their one base but cannot advance furtherIn your question -- even though the ball hit the dirt, once it strikes the batter (assuming the batter never swung), this is a Hit-By-Pitch

When does a batter get a walk to to first base?
A batter gets a walk to first base when they receive four pitches that are deemed balls by the umpire, meaning they are outside the strike zone and not swung at. Additionally, a batter can walk if they are hit by a pitch or if the pitcher commits an illegal pitch, such as a balk, under certain circumstances. This allows the batter to advance to first base without the risk of being put out.
