Does a batter get a RBI on a wild pitch?
Good question. The only thing that would be close to a WILD PITCH RBI would be if the batter swung at the pitch for a third strike, which of course the catcher couldn't catch. There would have to be a runner on third, and the batter would have to be safe at first on the dropped third strike rule. I do not believe that this would truly be an RBI though, because technically, a dropped third strike is like a walk, the batter is not credited with a hit.

Only if the bases are loaded and the wild pitch or passed ball is ball four.
Do you get an rbi if you steal home?
No. You are credited with a stolen base and a run scored, but neither you nor the batter is credited with an RBI. It's the same way with scoring from third on a wild pitch, a balk, a passed ball, an error, or a double-play: no RBI is awarded.

Can a runner on third base steal home on a dropped third strike?
Yes, if it just merely a dropped 3rd strike and he is safe, then he will be credited with a steal, however, if the pitch is ruled a passed ball or wild pitch, then the runner will not be credited with a stolen base, but rather just advancing on a passed ball/wild pitch
Can a batter advance to second base on a walk when the pitch was not wild before the pitch to the next batter?
yes, the ball is not dead on a walk, the batter is free to try to advance to second and risk being put out
If a batter reaches first base on a dropped third strike would you give the batter a strike out How would that affect his on-base percentage?
The batter would be charged with a strikeout and an at-bat, the pitcher would be credited with a strikeout, and a wild pitch or passed ball would also be credited. The batter's OBP would go down as the formula for determining OBP is (Hits plus Walks plus Hit by Pitcher) divided by (At Bats plus Walks plus Hit by Pitcher plus Sacrifice Flies)
If there was NO wild pitch and the batter receives a walk can he advance on to second base before the next pitch?
Not unless the next batter gets a walk as well. Runners can only move on base hits or walks.
