dropped strike 3, hit by pitch, pinch runner, an illegal pitch with 3 balls on you, catchers interference.
There are several different ways to get to first base. One is if you hit the ball and make it safely to first without getting tagged or thrown out. Another way is being walked. This means the pitcher throws you 4 balls. In some leagues, if you strike out and the catcher drops the third strike, you can also run to first. This can only happen when there is no one on first base. The catcher can tag you or throw you out.
The seven ways to get to first base without getting credit for a hit are bunting, walking, getting hit with a pitch, having someone try for a foul ball and fail to catch it, having someone pinch hit, pitcher balking, and kissing a girl. Baseball players joke about this all the time.
1) Hit 2) Walk 3) Hit by pitch 4) Defensive Error
