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.
What are the way a batter can get a strike called on her?
The ball passing through the strike zone. The batter making an attempt to hit the ball by swinging or making a bunt offer at the pitch. The ball striking the bat and not the player even if the batter made no attempt to hit the ball. The ball being hit by the batter into foul territory. The last way is seldom called but once a pitcher steps on the rubber and is ready to pitch the batter has 10 seconds to get in the batters box and be ready to hit if not a strike can be called.
When a batter swings at a pitcher and misses it?
If the batter swings and the ball hits anywhere but the bat the pitch is called a strike. Even if it hits the person batting, while swinging, but if he is bunting and gets hit it is not a strike There is no rule that states that if a batter is attempting to bunt and a pitched ball hits him that the pitch is anything but a strike. In short, if a batter is hit during any type of swing, the pitch is ruled a strike.
If a ball comes to the batter and it's a good ball and it's not swung at is that consided a strike out?

Batter squares to bunt and doesnt swing?
a bunt is not a swing unless the plain of the plate is broken ... and or the batter dose not pull back the bat when the pitch is made ...Answer:I understand this question asking, "What happens if a batter squares to bunt but pulls back on the pitch?" --- if this is the situation, then when the batter pulls back the bunt the pitch would be called a ball or strike just like any other pitch. If he does not pull the bat back before the ball crosses the plate then it is a strike, much like a missed swing

In baseball is it legal to hit a pitch that bounces first?
Yes, you can hit a bounced pitch the same way you can hit any other pitch considered a ball. It's the same as hitting a high pitch and has been done numerous times in the MLB.Also, the official answer can be found in the Baseball Rule Book under Section II: Definition of Terms:"A BALL is a pitch which does not enter the strike zone in flight and is not struck at by the batter. If the pitch touches the ground and bounces through the strike zone it is a "ball." If such a pitch touches the batter, he shall be awarded first base. If the batter swings at such a pitch after two strikes, the ball cannot be caught. If the batter hits such a pitch, the ensuing action shall be the same as if he hit the ball in flight."
What is sentence for bunting?
There are at least three different meanings for the word "bunting." One meaning refers to a kind of textile, a fabric that is often made of wool; in the old days, it was used for making flags and banners. Many ribbons in the 1800s were made of bunting, but today they might be made of different fabrics. Another meaning is an action in the game of baseball, when the batter strikes the ball in such a way that it stays in the infield and the pitcher or catcher must try to field it while the batter (who is often speedy) runs to first base. The pitcher was surprised to see the batter bunting the ball, since the batter was not a very fast runner. And a third meaning refers to a small bird which looks like a sparrow and eats seeds. Many people confuse the bunting with a finch, because they look and act very similarly.
