What else can I help you with?
A hit that gets the batter to second base safely?
There are many different hits that can give a player a safe passage to first base. A player can hit a line drive, a ball up the middle, a ball off the walls around the stadium, a home run, etc. Batters can also reach first through a error made by the defensive team.
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 batter reaches 1st base as the result of an error but gets thrown out trying to reach 2nd on the same play is the error negated?
The error stands as the batter reached a base safely.
When does a batter walk to first base?

What happens if a batter gets hit by a?
If a batter is hit by a pitch, that batter automatically advances to first base.
Is it a force out at second base if the out at first occurs before the out at second?
No. Any base runner that gets on base and scores is charged to the pitcher that pitched to him, regardless whether the batter reached base by a force out, error, catcher's interference,etc.
Who gets to first base first - left or right handed batter?
A right handed batter would get to first base first because a left handed batter has to take extra time turning around to start running.
Does a batter receive a hit for a reached on error?
No. He hasn't earned being on base by safely hitting the ball so he gets no credit for a hit.
Is the batter credited with a double if he is thrown out while advancing to third base?
No, once you are tagged out you don't get credited with anything if you are the one at bat. Now if another batter hits the ball and there was already a man on base at first and he gets tagged at 2nd base, then yes the man on 1st base would get the single from his previous at bat If the batted ball was cleanly a base hit and he was thrown out trying to advance past first base then the batter would be given the hit corresponding to the last base the batter reached safely. If the batter was thrown out at second, the batter would be given a single. If the batter was thrown out at third, the batter would be given a double. If the batter was thrown out at home plate, the batter would be given a triple.
Does the batter receive one or two bases after a pitched third strike that goes out of play?
He gets first base only. He is not officially on first base yet so he only gets it free.
If a batter hits a ball that falls safely in front of the center fielder but the runner at second hesitates and gets thrown out at third should it be considered a fielder's choice and not a hit?
Provided that there were no runner on 1st base and batter reached 1st before runner were tagged out, this is a hit. Batter alreay had first base, runner chose to go to 3rd, not forced. If he were forced, then it is a fielders choice.
Is it a plate appearance if the batter gets thrown out but a runner scores from third base?
It depends on what the count on the batter is when he is thrown out. If there are 2 strikes on the batter and his substitute gets struck out, the at-bat is contributed to the first batter. Otherwise, all stats will be awarded to the substitute batter.
