How many ways can a batter reach first base without hitting the ball?
A batter is not awarded first base if the pitcher balks. If there is a runner on base, he is awarded the next base.

walk, hit by pitch, reach on strike out passed ball, catchers interference, so i say four. you said batter so i am assuming a pinch runner does not count since he would not go to the plate.

Walk
HBP
Intentional Walk
Dropped 3rd strike
Wild pitch...(0-2 no runner on first, pitch in the dirt or not caught by catcher)
Catchers Interference

Well you did say without hitting the ball so that takes out Fielders choice and Error...

*Thinks*..I believe that's it.

Good luck!!

Four by my count.


1. Walk
2. Hit by Pitch
3. Dropped Third Strike(with no baserunner on first)
4. Catchers Interference

*and you said batter, so pinch runner does not apply.

he can walk. He can be truck by the ball and advance to first. He can be a substitute runner.
