By "out of play" I presume you mean in the dugout or into the stands, in which case, the batter gets 2nd base If the ball stays in play, the batter could get as far as they can advance.

Little League Rule 7.05 g 'states two bases when, with no spectators on the playing field, a thrown ball goes into the stands, or into a bench, etc.'

The two bases are awarded from the runner's position at the time of the throw. If the runner is running towards first base and the ball is thrown into the stands, he is awarded 2 bases (1st and 2nd)

If the runner has safely reached 1st base and the shortstop throws to first because the runner rounded too far and the ball goes into the stands, it is still 2 bases, but in this case it is 2nd and 3rd as the runner already occupied first at the time of the throw.

Why does the catcher throw to third baseman after a strikeout when there are no base runners. Origin and any name or term?

The 'routine' is called around the horn and is a derivation of an old baseball drill that has been done for many, many years. The drill starts with all four infielders and the catcher in their 'normal' position with the catcher holding the ball. The catcher throws to third base as if a player was attempting to steal. The third baseman catches the ball and throws a ground ball to the second baseman who throws to the shortstop who is covering second base as if there was a force play. The shortstop throws to first base as if finishing a double play. The first baseman throws to the catcher and the process begins again.The drill is meant to be done quickly and crisply and designed to practice accurate throwing and hustle.

What are the infield player positions in kickball?

In kickball, the infield player positions typically include the pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, shortstop, and third baseman. The pitcher throws the ball to the kicker, while the catcher is positioned behind home plate to catch any missed kicks. First, second, and third basemen cover their respective bases, and the shortstop plays between second and third base, often fielding ground balls and making plays. Each position plays a crucial role in fielding and preventing runs from scoring.
