How can a base runner advance on a caught fly ball?

If a baserunner goes back and touches/or stands (this is called 'tagging up') on the base the they started on after the ball is caught he can then advance to the next base(s). If you do not go back and 'tag' the base after the ball is caught, the defensive team can throw the ball to the base you started on and you will be out


If you catch a fly ball but the runer is on base is he out?

If you are saying the batter makes it to the base before the ball is actually caught, it doesn't matter, the batter is still out. Any runner who was on base when the ball was hit must be on the base they started at and then when the ball is caught, may advance at their own risk. If they do not 'tag up' on their original base they may be put out by throwing to that base and the fielder with the ball touching it before they return.

Can a batter be called out on ball 4 for interfering with a catcher's throw?

In a normal Base On Balls call, the catcher wouldn't have to throw the ball. If it's a passed ball or a wild pitch, the batter is still awarded first base and can't do anything else. If there are other runners and they try to advance and the batter interferes after that, he is certainly called out and the runner will have to go back to the base he started from. But on a normal base on balls, the ball is dead and the runners would only advance if they were forced and the catcher wouldn't have to throw the ball anywhere except to the pitcher.


If a player attempts to steal second base can the pitcher turn and throw to second base instead of delivering the ball to home?

If he's already started his motion to home, he cannot stop and throw to second base. That would be a balk. But if he hasn't started his motion to home, he can throw to second base, but he has to disengage from the pitching rubber first.
