How Many Ways Can a Baseball Player Be Awarded First Base? I Heard 10 But I Can Only Come Up With 9

There are indeed 10 ways a baseball player can be awarded first base:

1. Walk: When the pitcher throws four balls outside the strike zone.
2. Hit by pitch: When the pitch hits the batter.
3. Error: When a fielder misplays a ground ball or fly ball, allowing the batter to reach base.
4. Fielder's choice: When a fielder fields a ground ball or fly ball and chooses to throw to a base other than first, allowing the batter to reach first on the fielder's choice.
5. Dropped third strike: When the catcher fails to catch a third strike, allowing the batter to reach first.
6. Balk: When the pitcher makes an illegal pitching motion, allowing the batter to advance to first.
7. Runner interference: When a baserunner interferes with a fielder trying to make a play, resulting in the batter being awarded first base.
8. International tiebreaker: In extra innings in games played outside the United States and Canada, a runner is placed on first base to start each inning.
9. Hit batter with the bases loaded: When the pitcher hits a batter with the bases loaded, the batter is awarded first base and all three base runners score.
10. Automatic base advancement: When a hit batsman or player receiving first base due to obstruction causes a runner to be out due to being forced out, the runner on base is automatically advanced to the next base.
