If a ground ball takes a bad hop does the hitter get a base hit?
If a ground ball takes a bad hop and the batter is thrown out at first, he is out. If a ground ball takes a bad hop and the official scorekeeper feels the fielder would have thrown out the batter if the bad hop had not occurred, an error is charged to that fielder. If a ground ball takes a bad hop and the official scorekeeper feels the runner would have been safe at first anyway, it will be scored as a base hit with no error.
How do you get a batter out?

They bunt a foul ball while they already have a 2 strike count. 4. They hit a fly ball that is caught by a fielder. 5. They hit a ground ball and the ball is thrown to first base before they step on it. 6. They hit a ball close to where they are running and they get tagged out.

If a batter is hit by a pitch after the ball hits his bat while trying to get out of the way of the pitch and not swinging or bunting at it does the batter go to first base?
No. If the ball hits the batter's bat first there can be no call of hit by pitched ball. Added: It is actually a foul ball and a strike.
How would you score this if the batter hits a ball the drops in center field but the runner at first is thrown out at second?
If the runner at second is out by being forced out, the batter is not given a base hit .... the play is ruled the same as if the ball was hit to an infielder that threw to second to force the runner. If the runner at second is out by being tagged because they rounded the base too far, the batter is given a base hit.
When does a batter walk to first base?

What is the rectangle used for on the foul side of the first base line on the baseball field?
The batter is supposed to stay within the rectangle when running to first base. If the batter is outside the box and gets hit with a thrown ball, they can be called out for running outside the baseline.
What is the rule about getting hit by a pitch in softball?
The batter must be inside the batting box up until the point after the ball makes contact with the bat. Batters must wear helmets with little caged masks. If a ball is thrown to a hard-to-hit spot that is not in the "batting zone," then the batter does not have to swing. That is called a ball. If the batter gets four balls thrown against them, then it is considered a "walk," where the batter gets to first base automatically. If the pitcher throws the ball to a hittable area, it is called a strike, regardless of if the batter swings or not. If the batter gets 3 strikes, they are out. Foul balls count as strikes unless there are already 2 strikes; then the batter stays up to bat until they hit it fair, strikeout, or get walked. 3 outs end the inning and the teams switch places.
