If a batter is hit by a pitch, that batter automatically advances to first base.
What the name of the hit that gets the batter to first base safely
No when the batter gets hit by the ball it is called and walk and the batter gets to go to first base
a Double
when he gets hit with the ball
simply yes.
a triple
No, this isn't possible. If the first batter gets a hit, the game can't be a no-hitter.
It does not matter what the batter did. If the runner from 3rd was in fair territory when the ball hit him -- the runner is out, batter is credited with a single and gets to go to 1st base
The base hit is credited to the replacement batter.
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 the batter is hit while still holding the bat across the plate attempting to bunt, then it is called a strike. But, if the batter pulls back the bat and gets hit by the pitch then he goes to first with a HBP.
Should a batted ball hit any base, the ball is considered fair and live and the play continues. It is still up to the defense to field the ball and touch first base before the batter does to record an out.
