This question is certainly more complicated than it appears.

This is another way for the batter to get first base.

One base, if the batter becomes a runner on Ball Four or Strike Three, when the pitch passes the catcher and lodges in the umpire’s mask or paraphernalia.

Walk, intentional walk, hit by pitch, dropped third strike, failure to deliver pitch within 20 seconds, catcher interference, fielder interference, spectator interference, fan obstruction,four illegal pitches, and if a game is suspended with a runner on first and that player is traded prior to the makeup, another player can take his place.
