Why is there a ball next to a contact name?

Baseball: name 4 ways to get on base without making any contact with the ball?

  • Answer:

    1.Walk (includes Intentional walks) 2. Hit by Pitch 3. Catcher's Interference (catcher interferes with the swing) 4. Third strike not caught (provided there's 2 outs or 1st base is unoccupied) 5. Pinch runner (since you didn't specify "batter") 6. Balk (see rule 7.07) (unless you interpret that as interference as well) Rule 7.07 If, with a runner on third base and trying to score by means of a squeeze play or a steal, the catcher or any other fielder steps on, or in front of home base without possession of the ball, or touches the batter or his bat, the pitcher shall be charged with a balk, the batter shall be awarded first base on the interference and the ball is dead.

hit by pitch, walk, balk, dropped third strike (not a freebie). Three of these won't work in my softball league, only the walk. It's slow pitch.
