Yes, a bounced pitch can result in a hit by pitch if the ball strikes the batter after bouncing off the ground. According to MLB rules, if a pitch bounces and then hits the batter, it is considered a hit by pitch, provided the batter does not make an attempt to avoid it. However, if the batter actively tries to avoid the ball or if the pitch is deemed out of the strike zone, the ruling may vary.

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."

Why doesn't a baseball player take first base if he gets hit with the ball?
This rule only applies to the player currently at bat but unless the ball bounced off of something else before hitting the batter, he should take first base if he is hit by the ball. Remember though that the ball can't foul off of the catcher's glove (or anything else for that matter) and then hit the batter. He has to be hit directly by the pitch.
