When a batter is hit by a pitch and the ball goes past the catcher can a runner on second advance to home?

Yes, because the ball remains live, and stealing is allowed in Baseball, except often at about the 10-year-olds-and-under levels. The umpire is not supposed to grant a timeout until a walked player has reached first base, and it is obvious no plays are imminent anywhere, but if he does, that would disallow any advancement beyond the award. A common example of when a player may want to attempt extra bases would be if the fourth ball is also a wild pitch or passed ball that gets well passed the catcher.

∙ 16y agoYes. If the batter is walked and the 4th ball is a wild pitch or passed ball, the batter may attempt to take an extra base.There is no rule in baseball that requires a batter that is walked to stop at 1st base.

∙ 16y agoYes. This could occur if ball four was a wild pitch.

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 there is a runner on second why do you throw to first and get the batter out and let the second base runner advance to third?
The out to third is more risky, and you might end up with two men on vs an easy out.
Does the batter get a sacrifice if the runner on first tags and goes to second?
Yes as long as the runner advances Assuming you mean the runner tags up on a fly ball and advances to second, it is not scored as a sacrifice, but, simply as a fly out and the batter is charged with a time at bat. If the batter bunt a ground ball, the runner would not be required to "tag up" to advance and the batter would be credited with a sacrifice. If the batter is attempting a sacrifice bunt and pops up and the runner, tags up and somehow advances to second the batter is not credited with a sacrifice.
Runner on second is hit by the batted ball while running to third. How is this recorded?
dead ball, the runner is out and the putout goes to the closest fielder...the batter gets credit for a hit and if there are other runners that are forced to advance by the batter getting first (in this case, a runner on first), he gets to advance also...if there are 2 outs, the batter still gets credit for a hit but the inning is over
Can a runner steal second base on a dropped third strike?
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. If there are 2 out, the batter can try to reach base, and the runner from first would be forced to try to advance to second. As on any other pitch, a runner can always try to advance, but would only be credited with a stolen base if he left the bag when the pitch was thrown, not after it was dropped.
Can a runner advance from first or second on a caught foul ball?
Runners can advance in any case even with 2 outs. The batter is different. If first base is occupied with less than 2 outs then the batter cannot advance but everyone else can... It would be more of a steal than drop strike though. If there are 2 outs and he strikes out on a dropped strike, the batter is allowed to advance with a runner already occupying first. In any other case you can go whenever you please
When a runner is on first and third and the runner on first advances to second with out a throw from the catcher is the runner credited with a stolen base?
yes
If a runner attempting to steal a base makes the third out to end the inning does the same batter get to bat again in the next inning?
The batter is only out on a dropped third strike when there are less than two outs and first base was occupied at the start of the pitch. With two outs the batter may take first base on a dropped third strike even if it was occupied at the start of the pitch.
A batter is touched by a fair ball and is declared out with a runner on first can the runner on first advance to second or must he stay at first?
If a runner is touched by a fair batted ball, in fair territory, before passing a fielder, it's interference, the ball is dead, the runner is Out, and all other runners must return to the base occupied at the time of the pitch, unless forced to advance due to the batter being awarded 1B on the play.
What is official scoring when runner is thrown out trying to advance on passed ball or wild pitch?
It's ruled "caught stealing," and scored 2-6 if the catcher throws to the shortstop, 2-4 if the catcher throws to the second baseman, etc.
If there are runners on second and third and two outs and the runner from second tries to score on a single but is called out on an appeal does the first run count?
When the ball hits the baserunner it is a dead ball at the runner the ball hit is out. The batter is credited with a single. Since the batter is given a single, any baserunner required to advance will advance, however, no runners ahead of the runner who was out will advance: i.e bases loaded, the runner at 2nd is hit by the ball, the runner at 2nd is out, the runner at 1st goes to 2nd and the batter goes to first. the runner at 3rd does not get to advance, he will stay at 3rd, so the bases will remain loaded runners at 2nd and 3rd, -- the ball hits the guy at 3rd base (while he is in fair territory), runner at 3rd is out, runner at 2nd returns to 2nd, and batter goes to first, you now have runners on 1st and 2nd hope this helps
Runner on second and batter hits grounder to short and throws out runner at third is batter credited with a hit?
No hit it is a fielders choice
