yes, unless there are 2 out...then the batter must beat the throw to first for the run to count...just as if he put the ball in play, no runs can score if the batter is put out before reaching 1st base for the final out of the inning

If the a line drive strikes the pitchers rubber and the catcher catches it is he out?
No he is not out. Hitting the rubber is like hitting the ground. He would have to throw out the batter, runner at first base.
If a catcher hits a batter with the ball while trying to throw a runner out at third is the runner out?
If the batter showed signs of trying to move out of the way to give the catcher a clear lane to throw then neither the batter or the runner it out. If the batter did not move at all to provide the catcher a throwing lane, then the batter is out, but the runner is safe.
Umpire calls a batter out and catcher drops the ball and batter advances to first is he safe or out at first?
If he is called out on strikes and the catcher drops the ball, the batter may try to run to first base. In order to be put out, the catcher must throw the ball and get him out at first before he gets to the base. If the runner beats the throw, then the runner is safe. The pitcher is given credit for a strikeout. The catcher is given an error. This is how pitchers can have 4 strikeouts in an inning, which happened in MLB this week.
Batter interferes with catcher after striking out runner stealing and safe at second is runner out for batter's interference or returned to first base?
returned to first because when the batter intefer with the catcher the play is normaily stop
If a catcher is credited with a putout on a strikeout does the pitcher get an assist as most stat programs do not give assists in this instance?
The pitcher does not get an assist unless the batter strikes out and the ball bounces to the pitcher, who throws the ball to the catcher, who tags out the runner.
Why does the batter get to run to first and is safe if 2 strikes and catcher misses a third strike?
Well, first of all, a dropped third strike is an out if the catcher's throw beats the runner. It's that way because that's just the rule.
Runner stealing third base batter stands in batters box catchers arm hit batter in head is runner out?
no. the batter can stay in the batters box as long as they dnt move when someone is stealing third base. if the batter tried to block the catcher tho by moving, the bater is out. if the catcher hits the batter and the batter is still standing in the batters box, and the catcher throws to third base and the third baseman tags the runner the runner is still safe.
Catcher interfers with batter and tags runner from third out ruling?
yea because while the batter interfer with the catcher the play is normaily stoped
When is it interference by the batter with the catcher when a runner from third base is trying to score?
When the batter is standing on the plate.
When an a catcher get credit for a putout without touching the ball?
If there is a runner on first base and less than 2 outs, and on the third strike to the batter the catcher misses the ball entirely, the batter is still out and the catcher is credited with the putout. If a runner is one first base with less then 2 outs, a missed 3rd strike is not officially recorded as a putout by the catcher as there is nowhere for the runner to go as the batter cannot advance in this situation. The only time a catcher or any other position player can get a put out without touching the ball is in the case of runner-interference - - i.e. The batter pops up a ball a runner (either the batter or a guy from 3rd) runs into the catcher, not allowing him a chance to make a play on the ball -- the runner would be called out and the catcher would be credited with the out) -- another scenerio would be a bunt or swinging bunt where the batter makes contact with the ball in fair territory (not in batters box) -- this would be a batted ball touched by a base runner in fair territory -- the batter would be out, with the recorded out going to the closest position player (in this scenerio, that would be the catcher)
What happens to the batter?
The "batter" becomes a "runner" if he is walked, hit by a pitch or puts the ball in play. He becomes dejected if he strikes out, fouls out or is ejected from the game.
How do you calculate at bats?
A batter is credited with an at bat for every plate appearance except: 1) base on balls 2) hit by pitch 3) sacrifice fly 4) sacrifice bunt 5) catcher's interference If an inning ends while a batter is in the middle of an at bat (eg., a base runner is thrown out stealing for the 3rd out) no at bat is credited and the batter is the first batter to bat in the next inning. If the batter is replaced before the at bat is completed, no at bat is credited unless the batter was replaced with two strikes and the replacement batter strikes out. The strikeout is credited to the batter who was replaced.
