Give the batting team the option on a walk to not only put a runner on first base but also have the walked batter get a fresh plate appearance (PA) immediately. This could also be done in other cases:
- Hit by Pitch (HBP)
- Catcher's interference
If the batting team decides to have its walked batter get another (PA), it would send a pinch runner (PR) to first base. This could be a player not in the game or a player in the game but not on base or on deck. If the pinch runner had not already been in the game, his status would remain as such. For a PR who had been in the game, that PR could be replaced as needed if his place in the batting order came up.
