Pitched ball out of play. One base for all runners from time of pitch.
Batter was not a runner at the TOP, he became a runner when the ball reached the plate.
Batter gets first from the walk. No award for the pitch going out of play.
Think of it this way, no count on the batter, pitch out of play. Move the runners up one base, batter stays at bat.
Yes, I know I'm just explaining what MTD said in my own convoluted way.
