On a dropped third strike, if there's a runner on first and less than 2 outs than the batter is automatically retired, whether or not the runner from first was stealing on the pitch.

Can a runner going from 1st to 2nd advance on a 4th ball even though the pitch was not called yet and the runner was out?
In baseball, a runner can advance on a fourth ball (a ball that would be the fourth ball in the count) if they have not been called out or if the play is not dead. However, if the runner is tagged out while attempting to advance and the pitch has not been officially called a ball, the out stands, as the play still counts as live. The outcome hinges on whether the runner's advance was legal at the time of the pitch and if the out was made before any official call was made.
