What does it mean when a baseball batter walks?
When a baseball batter walks it means that they received four pitches that were called balls by the umpire. The official term is base on balls. They call it a walk because the batter walks to first base. You only advance one base at a time when there is a walk. That means if there is already a runner on first base when the batter walks, that person advances only to second base. There is also an intentional walk where the pitcher intentionally throws four balls in order to put the runner on first base. This is used as strategy.
If there was NO wild pitch and the batter receives a walk can he advance on to second base before the next pitch?
Not unless the next batter gets a walk as well. Runners can only move on base hits or walks.

How do you calculate OBP?
OBP = On Base Percentage 1) Take a batter's number of plate appearances and subtract the number of sacrifices (bunts) the batter has. 2) Add the batter's number of base hits, walks, and hit by pitch. 3) Divide the value in 2) by the value in 1) EXAMPLE: The batter has 600 plate appearance and 2 sacrifices. The batter has 160 base hits, 70 walks, and 4 hit by pitch. A) Subtract the number of sacrifices from the number of plate appearances (600 - 2 = 598). B) Add base hits, walks, and hit by pitch (160 + 70 + 4 = 234). C) Divide 234 by 598 (234 / 598 = .391) The batter's OBP is .391.

What constitutes a non at bat in softball?
Normally when the batter walks or lays down a successful SAC bunt, he is not charged with an at-bat.
If a batter reaches first base on a dropped third strike would you give the batter a strike out How would that affect his on-base percentage?
The batter would be charged with a strikeout and an at-bat, the pitcher would be credited with a strikeout, and a wild pitch or passed ball would also be credited. The batter's OBP would go down as the formula for determining OBP is (Hits plus Walks plus Hit by Pitcher) divided by (At Bats plus Walks plus Hit by Pitcher plus Sacrifice Flies)
Does a pitcher have to be taken out of the game if he walks to many players?
No, a pitcher doesn't have to be taken out of the game no matter how many batters he walks. The manager will probably take him out if he walks a ton of hitters but, the only time a pitcher has to be taken out is when he hits a batter and the ump thinks he did it on purpose so, he ejects him.
