What happens if a batter hits a ball that hits first base before the batter gets there?

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.

If the third strike is not caught in the air by the catcher what happens?
if that happens then the batter tries to make it to first base before the catcher throwes it to the first baseman and if he beat es the ball he is safe

if the ball doesnt get to the first baseman before the batter does than yes, the batter would be safe and then benched(hence jimmy rollins)
The Pitcher throws towards home plate. the ball bounces in the dirt before home plate and it hits the batter is it a dead ball or hit batter?
It is a dead ball and the batter is awarded first base and is ruled a hit by pitch
In kids' pitch is it a dead ball if it hits the ground before it hits the batter?
In regular baseball rules, the ball is still live, even if it hits the ground first, until it hits the batter, then it becomes a "dead ball". If it never hits the batter, its still a live ball.
What happens when a bowler hits the batter with a ball whilst bowling in rounders?
Yes, by means of run out only! If the bowler hits the wicket at the non-strikers end before he actually bowls the ball then it is not given out!
What happens to the captins before the game?
they have to get something and put it in a hand and see who has the ball first?
What happens when an advancing runner is hit with a batted ball?
The batter is out unless a fielder touched the ball
Is the batter out if the pitcher accidentally hits the ball to the batter?
No when the batter gets hit by the ball it is called and walk and the batter gets to go to first base
If a batted ball hits the batter is he out?
Yes. MLB Rule 6.05(g) states that a batter is out when "His fair ball touches him before touching a fielder". If the fair ball touches the batter before it touches a fielder, the batter is called out.
