--If a home run king steps up to bat in baseball, he may get an intentional walk--four balls deliberately thrown wide of the mark--to avoid any risk. In softball, there's no need to waste the time throwing the four pitches. The pitcher just tells the umpire and the home run king can go directly to first base.
此外，如果全壘打王上場，打棒球時故意四壞球保送；在慢壘場上，只要投手告訴主審，投手連球都不必投，全壘打王就可直接上一壘。
