I think the stealing rule in Little League is NO leading, runner cannot start running until the ball crosses the strike zone or is hit by the batter.
There are no lead-offs in Little League. (except Senior & Big League)
Correct answer
If a runner is heading back to the base when the pitcher is on the mound, he MUST go back to the base, otherwise he can be called out. Now if you get a secondary lead after the pitch already crossed the plate, and you do not start to head back to your base, then you may advance as the pitcher is getting on the rubber, this would be considered a "delayed steal" --- however, you must make your motion to advance BEFORE the pitcher is on the rubber, otherwise you must retreat back to your base
What else can I help you with?
Who covers first base on a double play when the ball is hit to first baseman?
That depends on where the 1st baseman fields the ball. If the 1st baseman can field the ball, throw to second, and have enough time to get safely back to the base to catch the return throw, then (s)he will cover. If not, then it is the responsibility of the pitcher.
Can a second baseman go in the base line of second when runner is coming from first?
if he interferes with the runner that would be called obstruction
When should the first baseman trail the runner on a first and third early steal?
The first baseman should trail the runner on a first and third early steal primarily when there is a strong chance the runner on third will attempt to steal home. By trailing, the first baseman can cover the shortstop or second base, creating a potential play to catch the runner attempting to advance. This strategy also helps to prevent a quick throw to second base, as it keeps the defense alert to potential plays at both bases. However, the first baseman should also be aware of the pitcher’s pickoff moves and adjust accordingly.

When there is a runner on first - the batter hits a ground ball to the first baseman who steps on first and then tags the runner who remains on first - Who is out?
If the first baseman tags first base, the runner originally on first is therefore not forced to second base and he is safe at first.
What is a time play in softball?
The best example I can give of a 'timed play' is when the pitcher attempts to pick off a runner at second base. The catcher will give a signal, maybe touching his mask or pounding his fist in his glove. This signal means that at the count of two the second baseman or shortstop, whoever has the responsibility of covering the bag, will start moving towards second base and at the count of four, the pitcher will whirl around and throw to second in an attempt to pick off the runner. The pitcher cannot turn around and see that a runner is taking a big lead off of second base and attempt to pick the runner off because the runner will head back to second as soon as he sees the pitcher looking at him. So, a 'timed play' is executed ... the shortstop/second baseman sneaks to the base behind the runner's back in the hope that the runner does not notice and the pitcher suddenly whirls around and throws in the hopes that he catches the base runner off guard.
Is there such a call as runner enterference in baseball?
Yes. Most runner interference calls are made on the runner sliding into the second baseman or shortstop to break up a double play.
Does the runner need to be out in order to be a fielder's choice?
No, if there is a runner on first and the second baseman fields the ball and throws it to the shortstop, who muffs the play and allows both the runner and batter to advance/reach safely, the play would be ruled a fielder's choice and an error. It would still count as an at-bat and a non-hit for the batter, just as if the second-baseman had muffed the throw to the first-baseman with nobody on base.
How do you rewrite he tags the runner out in imperative sentence?
When writing or "doing the official score book", when a runner is tagged out, the number designated by the field position (so pitcher would be 1, catcher would be 2, ect...) with the letter "U" would be the correct notation. So for instance if the 2nd baseman would to tag a runner going from 1st to 2nd base the notation would be 4U. Meaning second baseman unassisted.
