A batter who has received a base on balls may be granted "time" before he goes to first base.

The assertion is false because once a batter receives a base on balls, there is no provision within NFHS baseball rules that allows for granting "time" before the player proceeds to first base. The batter is expected to immediately take their base as part of the game's flow.

In baseball, after a player is awarded a walk, the process is designed to keep the game moving. The player must leave the batter's box and directly advance to first base without any delay or pause for "time." It's crucial for maintaining the rhythm of the game and ensuring that all players are ready to continue playing as quickly as possible. Allowing time for a player to pause after receiving a walk would disrupt this flow and potentially lead to confusion on the field.
