No. The balk happens before the pitch, so the play is called dead and the runner is allowed to advance rather than attempt the steal.
This happens some times, the pitcher will commit the balk because they see the runner make the break to steal, they don't get to make a throw to a base or to the plate because the umpires stop the play to call the balk.
The runner is safe, in order for the runner to be considered out the fielder would have to have the ball in his glove or hand and tag the runner. *edit: It depends on where the runner is when he is hit. If the runner is running a direct path to first and is within the 3ft baseline, the runner is safe. If however the runner takes a lane outside the 3ft path, in a deliberate attempt to block the catcher's throwing lane, the runner is out for Interference.
If the pitcher is in contact with the runner, the runner is safe if the pitcher drops the ball. If the pitcher is in contact with the rubber, it is a balk if he drops the ball.
No, it is simply ball four and the runner is safe and the batter is awarded first base on a base on balls.
This is not a force play, so the runner would have to be tagged to be Out.
No it is not kickball.
advancing runner struck by the batted ball is out.
The runner is probably out for interference by running into a fielder, if not, he is out if the throw to first beat the runner and the first baseman, or whom ever is covering first, had his foot on the bag when he received the ball.
If the pitcher is in the pitching circle and the runner doesn't commit either to advance or return the runner is out. So long as the pitcher doesn't make any attempt to throw the ball and get the runner out.
If a runner is on first, and the pitcher balks, he is awarded 2nd base. The balk rule was instituted to keep pitchers from deceiving the runners.
runner is out
yes it still is a force the runner has to go
cuz they left that man on
