Explanation

A batsman can be dismissed without facing a ball in three ways: (1) Run out at the non-striker's end while backing up, (2) Obstructing the field (if given out before facing), and (3) Handled the ball (rare, now part of obstructing the field). Timed out is also possible but occurs after being at the crease, not before facing.
