The pitcher is considered the most important defensive player on the team in Baseball. The way he throws the ball will most likely determine the hits made.
The pitcher in baseball at all levels of the game is vital to the defensive of the team. This holds true for youth baseball, college and professional baseball as well. Generally speaking the pitcher is the most important defensive player because he is involved with every single play in the inning pitched. The same is true for the team catcher, however, the pitcher must throw his pitch in a manner that prevents a batter from getting on base. If a pitcher cannot make most batters draw a strike or have the batter hit the ball to one of his teammates then the defense is in trouble.
No, that is considered a foul
In baseball, a runner must be tagged when they are not on a base and the defensive player has the ball.

Baseball is an odd sport in that the defensive team has the only opportunity to score points. The pitcher has the single most important offensive position in the game. If the pitcher does not succeed in his goal of getting the ball past the batter, then the other members of the offense must "take up the slack." However, the defensive batter has the only position that can score. If you are in the dugout, then the most important player to you is the batter. If you are in the field, then the most important player is the pitcher. If you have a bat in your hand, then you better be sure the most important player is you.
When a defensive player catches a pass
A force out in baseball occurs when a defensive player tags a base before a baserunner reaches it, forcing the baserunner to be out. A tag out, on the other hand, happens when a defensive player tags the baserunner with the ball before the baserunner reaches a base. The key difference is that a force out requires the defensive player to tag the base, while a tag out involves tagging the baserunner.
This is a foul on the offensive player. The defensive player does not have to fall down in order to get a charge called
Yes
If a defensive player catches the football, it is considered an interception and he would run toward the end zone in hopes of scoring a touchdown for his team. Interceptions are one of the most exciting plays in the game of football.
