In MLB, yes. According to MLB rules, a foul tip is a ball that is tipped by the batter that goes straight back into the catcher's mitt. It is considered a swinging strike and not a foul ball.

If the player was stealing as the pitch was delivered, it is a steal. If, however, he leaves once the ball passes the catcher, it is not a steal. If a player is stealing, and there is a wild pitch allowwing the runner to reach third base, it would be a steal and a wild pitch.

Can you steal in fast pitch softball?
To steal home in baseball is 100% completely legal. More than likely, you wouldn't steal home unless it's on a squeeze or it's 2 outs, bases loaded, and there is a full count on the batter. One of the most common, and obvious, situations to steal home, is whenever there is a passed ball... make sure the backstop is large enough to ensure you being safe. Know your speed! -Cole.Grossi

Who covers second base when a runner attempts to steal?
It depends. The rule of thumb is for the second baseman to cover the base if a right-handed hitter is at the plate; shortstop for a left-handed hitter. The logic goes that hitters are more likely to 'pull' the pitch and having the infielder from the other side cover gives a team better defensive coverage.

No. You don't have to steal. But you do have to advance to the next base if a runner is about to occupy the base you just left from.

What does throwing out the runner mean?
Throwing out the runner means that the batter hit the ball and a fielder fielded the ball and got the batter out running to first. It could also mean that the catcher threw the ball to second base when a girl was trying to steal and got her out. The same thing applies to third base.
If a runner has to return to a base on a caught flyball is that a force out?
Yes. The fielder covering the base does NOT have to tag the runner. The runner is forced out when the fielder steps on the base before the runner can make it back. Got that.
