If a batter is walked my he advance to another base or does he have to stop at first?
The batter may advance to 2nd but must go to 2nd after rounding 1st unless an attempt is made to get a runner out. An attempt may just be a ball raised to throwing position. By the look back rule, the runner may not stop or reverse along the way while being observed by the pitcher. The finer points of this rule are often misinterpreted by officials.
To clarify this answer, do not interpret it as meaning the batter, in any case may go to 2nd base without first touching first. No batter or base runner may advance to any base without first touching the previous base in any situation.

Can a runner advance from first or second on a caught foul ball?
Runners can advance in any case even with 2 outs. The batter is different. If first base is occupied with less than 2 outs then the batter cannot advance but everyone else can... It would be more of a steal than drop strike though. If there are 2 outs and he strikes out on a dropped strike, the batter is allowed to advance with a runner already occupying first. In any other case you can go whenever you please

What is a force out in the NBA?
A force out in "player foul" terms, is when a player pushes the player with the ball out of bounds. In other words, they are "forcing out" the player with the ball. This is illegal in the NBA. Hope this helps :)
Runner on second is hit by the batted ball while running to third. How is this recorded?
dead ball, the runner is out and the putout goes to the closest fielder...the batter gets credit for a hit and if there are other runners that are forced to advance by the batter getting first (in this case, a runner on first), he gets to advance also...if there are 2 outs, the batter still gets credit for a hit but the inning is over
May you advance to second base after a walk in fastpitch softball?
yes, if you are the batter you can get walked and then steal second you've touched 1st but if you round the base and then go back to first you are out. Technically you have committed to second so i would suggest getting into a run down.
When does a batter get a walk to to first base?
A batter gets a walk to first base when they receive four pitches that are deemed balls by the umpire, meaning they are outside the strike zone and not swung at. Additionally, a batter can walk if they are hit by a pitch or if the pitcher commits an illegal pitch, such as a balk, under certain circumstances. This allows the batter to advance to first base without the risk of being put out.
