@@vendingdudes It is a weird one. The catcher is charged with an error but the batter does not reach first on the error. They also do not get an at bat, as they would with other fielding errors.
I remember the one and only time I got on due to catcher interference. Swung and whiffed horribly because the Catcher had his glove too far up and I absolutely destroyed it. Ball hit the catcher right in the mask, his glove flew off, and the umpire awarded me first base. I was so confused bc I was in pony league and had no idea that catcher interference is an automatic base
I got on base a couple of times in Little League, Babe Ruth and high school because sometimes the catcher would set up a little too close to the plate, and by standing all the way at the back of the box, I could drop my bat straight down and clip the catcher's glove while "swinging" at the pitch. (I'd never hack down towards the glove. It was a relatively gentle swing...I didn't want to hurt anyone, just take advantage of the catcher playing out of position.)
@@67L48 I did know it was the catchers fault. Like I knew it was catchers interference, but I always thought it was an automatic ball or something. Easiest base ever, because I immediately stole second, stole third, and tagged up on a fly ball for a run😂😂
@@mickeydooley2230 Walk, excessive time has always been in the rules and has always been a strike/ walk depending on who violated it. We just have a hard means to enforce it now
Forgot the 8th: Obstruction. This is most commonly seen on a bunt up the 1B line where multiple fielders converge to make the play (usually F1 and F3). Only one fielder is protected while making a play and the other is merely a spectator. If that other player hinders the runner, it's obstruction and he's awarded 1B. And, yes, this happens even at the MLB level ... happened at least once in 2024, in fact.

I like to think that the guys sit around playing games like this in between their video podcasts while Jomboy is in a dark closet pouring over footage of Yankees games so he can tell Boone that the players hit 12% better when they don’t ask for a timeout mid at bat.
catcher's interference is unique as it does not impact a player's OBP, even though an error and PA are counted. That is why it is separated on a list like this.
I was able to guess number 7 before number 6. I don't know if I would have got number 6 without any hints tbh. Just a weird technicality that makes sense, but thinking of it as a unique way to reach first is tough
I also wanted to differentiate between an intentional and unintentional walk, since in the current MLB game the intentional walk is zero pitches whereas the unintentional walk is four balls.
You ever seen the videos where they put a filter on someone and just slightly change them to see if they’ll notice? I feel like the guy in the pink is doing that to see if we’ll notice. He fs got a filter on him
First thought out my mind when i heard the question was only seven way to get to first base with a lady ? SEVEN ?! 😂😂😂than i heard walk and realized where i needed to pull my head out of 😂😂😂
True. Since it uses a different technique (as the word is different from a hit), I think that it should be another option. We do not say he bunted into the outfield or he singled to the catcher. I mean I guess you could do both, but usually singling to a catcher is an error to the catcher or a bunt.
They included things like a dropped sac fly. Just another error. A sac bunt that fails to advance runner, which is just a hit if the bunter makes it to first. Ball hits runner, scored a hit. Ball hits umpire, scored a hit. Spectator interference, scored a hit. Fan obstruction, scored a hit. Runner called out on appeal. Not sure how that is reaching first. 😂 There also appears to be three that are fielder's choice. Etc...etc... Also, it is ESPN, what do you expect? 😂
So dropped third strike is actually classified as two separate ways of getting into first base. There is a passed ball on a third strike which is assessed to the catcher. And there is a wild pitch on the third strike which is assessed to the pitcher.
You also have obstruction to first which could happen and you could also have the ball hitting a runner/runner’s interference and the batter could still be warranted first base
In most of these questions obstruction and catcher's interference are combined into one, but obstruction is definitely a way to reach base. If the runner is hit by a batted ball I believe that the batter is still credited with a hit, so they would still reach on a hit.
Regular interference would be caused by the base runner. It would be obstruction if it was on the fielder, but that would be another way to reach first base.
@@distantgalaxymusic1447 You don't get a hit if there is obstruction. Obstruction is like catcher's interference, it is an error but doesn't count as an at bat. They reach on the catcher's interference or the obstruction, not on the error. You usually see both of these combined as "defensive interference" in the 7 ways to reach first base list, since catcher's interference and obstruction are basically the same.
@@user-kv6wh5ut6o so in the 7 ways to score it, why isn’t it scored as an error? If a batted ball is fielded and the defender interferes with the hitter/runner, it’s scored as a hit not an error. And if it’s catchers interference it’s scored that way and not as an error. Otherwise there’s no way to distinguish between the 2 in the tabulation and keeping of stats.
@@distantgalaxymusic1447 Obstruction and catcher's interference are unique. They are errors to the catcher or the fielder who obstructed the batter. The batter doesn't get credit for a hit or an at bat. They reach on the catcher's interference or the obstruction. Other fielding errors count as at bats and the batter reaches first on the fielding error.
I believe defensive indifference only applies when a person is attempting to steal a base. I don't think defensive indifference can apply to first base, but I could be wrong.
There are regular doubles and automatic doubles too. There are also many other ways to get a hit, no matter how many bases it is. Then you have to separate every way to get a hit, and there are quite a few of them.
Actually, there's another way to reach first that's happened only once in history: umpire's discretion. If a pitcher is deemed to be distracting the batter against baseball rules, the home plate umpire can award the batter first base.
