What does it mean when a baseball batter walks?
When a baseball batter walks it means that they received four pitches that were called balls by the umpire. The official term is base on balls. They call it a walk because the batter walks to first base. You only advance one base at a time when there is a walk. That means if there is already a runner on first base when the batter walks, that person advances only to second base. There is also an intentional walk where the pitcher intentionally throws four balls in order to put the runner on first base. This is used as strategy.

Neither. It is recorded as a "hit by pitched ball". The batter is not charged with an "At Bat", and is awarded first base, all other runners, if forced, advance one base, if not forced they remain on the base they occupied. The ball is declared "dead" by the umpire and baserunners may not advance unless forced.
How do you calculate OBP?
OBP = On Base Percentage 1) Take a batter's number of plate appearances and subtract the number of sacrifices (bunts) the batter has. 2) Add the batter's number of base hits, walks, and hit by pitch. 3) Divide the value in 2) by the value in 1) EXAMPLE: The batter has 600 plate appearance and 2 sacrifices. The batter has 160 base hits, 70 walks, and 4 hit by pitch. A) Subtract the number of sacrifices from the number of plate appearances (600 - 2 = 598). B) Add base hits, walks, and hit by pitch (160 + 70 + 4 = 234). C) Divide 234 by 598 (234 / 598 = .391) The batter's OBP is .391.
