Does a runner have to tag base after every pitch?
8-2-9 Each runner shall touch his base after the ball becomes dead. All awarded bases must be touched in their proper order. The runner returns to the base he had reached or passed when the ball became dead.
It only counts if the third out is not a force out; if the batter had reached first, headed for second, and was tagged out, then the run would count. Short answer is yes, the runner can score from 3rd without tagging up.
Force plays, or force outs, are one of the two ways to get a runner out on a ground ball. For a fielder to get a forced runner out, he needs only to retrieve the hit ball and (1) step on the base in question before the forced runner gets there, or (2) tag that runner before the runner gets there.
It is absolutely not a requirement for a baserunner to return to the base in between each pitch. On the flip side, as a coach I would teach your players to return to the base after each pitch because that is where they need to be when taking the signs from the 3rd base coach.
By rule, baserunners must tag up when a hit ball is caught before it bounces by a fielder, and in such situations, are out if any fielder with possession of the ball touches their starting base before they do. After a legal tag up, runners are free to attempt to advance, even if the ball was caught in foul territory.
In baseball, no, unless there was a “dead ball” following the given pitch (i. e. A foul ball); if the ball remained “live,” the runner is not required to return to the base.
Answer: Yes, the batter is out. A fielder can put out a runner by tagging a base with an empty glove. Tagging the base with the glove on your hand is not much different from tagging the base with the shoe on your foot.
After a clean hit to the outfield, the batter-runner attempts stretch it into a double. As the runner approaches second base, the shortstop fakes a tag without possession of the ball. Ruling: A fake tag is considered obstruction and the umpire is to award whatever bases will nullify the obstruction.
A foul tip is a live ball. Runners can advance (steal) at their peril. If the catcher does not catch the ball, then it's a foul ball (dead ball).
Players (two or more) decide who is going to be "it", often using a counting-out game such as eeny, meeny, miny, moe. The player selected to be "it" then chases the others, attempting to "tag" one of them (by touching them with a hand) as the others try to avoid being tagged. A tag makes the tagged player "it".
Can a runner slap the ball out of the glove?
Can the baserunner attempt to dislodge the ball from the hand or glove of a fielder attempting a tag? No. A runner may not intentionally attempt to dislodge the ball as a fielder attempts a tag.
Any runner is called out when running more than three feet away from the baseline to avoid being tagged, unless such action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball.
In 1892, a rule credited runners with stolen bases if a base runner advanced on a fly out, or if they advanced more than one base on any safe hit or attempted out, providing an attempt was made by the defense to put the runner out. The rule was rescinded in 1897.
A walk-off in baseball happens when the home team scores the go-ahead run in the bottom of the ninth or extra innings to end the game. The batter who drives home the game-winning run with a hit or walk is only required to touch first base since the game is over once the baserunner touches home plate.
When a runner runs beyond a missed base and beats the throw, he is vulnerable to being called out on appeal. The onus, however, is on the defensive team to recognize the failure of the runner to touch the base and make a valid appeal by properly communicating the appeal to the umpire.
On a caught infield fly, runners must tag up in order to advance to the next base. This applies the same as with any catch. If the infield fly falls to fair ground untouched, or is touched and dropped, runners do not need to tag-up. However, since the batter is out, the force play on the other runners is removed.
Yes, you are allowed to attempt to steal a base before the pitcher has thrown the ball. This is a risky maneuver, however, because the pitcher could very well notice you've taken off and pick you off with ease.
The main reason they talk into their gloves is to prevent the enemy from lip-reading and stealing secret info. In theory, if the catcher tells his pitcher, "We can get this guy with a backdoor curve," the other team will intercept that info and relay it to its batter, via secret code phrases or bird calls.

To make a legal tag, the fielder must tag the runner with glove and ball or ball in hand. The laces do not factor in the tag.
Does a runner have to touch home plate?
Official Baseball Rule 5.09(b)(12) states that should a runner, in scoring, fail to touch home plate and continue on the way to the bench (making no effort to return), the runner may be put out by the fielder touching home plate and appealing to the umpire for a decision.
The runner must be able to reach the base with his hand or foot — and actually make an attempt to do so. He must make an attempt to stay on the base after completing the slide. And he must slide “within reach of the base without changing his pathway for the purpose of initiating contact with a fielder.”
Nearly all other fakes (e.g., simulating a caught fly ball, faking a throw [other than pitcher/balks], etc.) are legal; the phantom tag, though, isn't. Federation also outlaws verbal obstruction, whereas NCAA and OBR do not.
Rules for Stealing Bases
Overthrown or passed balls may be stolen on, as long as the ball is still considered to be “live” The base ahead of you must be unoccupied (unless the runner ahead of you also attempts to steal the base in front of them; this is known as a double steal)
1. A phantom tag occurs if an umpire calls an out when a fielder tries to tag a runner, but doesn't actually make contact.
You can steal a base via a walk beyond your next awarded base. For example, if you are on second base and there is nobody on first or third, you can steal third base on a walk. However, if you are on first base and the hitter walks, you automatically are awarded second base even if you take off running.
A stolen base occurs when a baserunner advances by taking a base to which he isn't entitled. This generally occurs when a pitcher is throwing a pitch, but it can also occur while the pitcher still has the ball or is attempting a pickoff, or as the catcher is throwing the ball back to the pitcher.
In NFHS the batter-runner is allowed to over-run or over-slide first as long as they don't attempt to advance to second. This includes a base on balls.

Can a fielder stand in the baseline?
- Fielders without the ball often stand on a base or in the base path. Doing so does not make them guilty of obstruction. They're not obstructing unless a runner's advance or path is altered.
When a fielder throws his glove at a batted ball, it is a violation of baseball rule, 5.06(4)(C), the detached equipment rule. There is no penalty if the glove does not make contact with the ball but if the glove makes contact, all runners, including the batter runner are awarded three bases.
If a runner is stealing home the batter has a right to the pitch if one is being delivered. After the pitch has been delivered, the batter can not interfere with the defenses ability to make a play on the runner. The batter must vacate the congested area if they have the time to do say during the play.
Can you force out at a home plate? Yes. If the bases are loaded and a ground ball is hit to a fielder, he can throw to home to force the runner from third base.
The catcher is not permitted to block the runner's path to the plate unless he is in possession of the ball, though blocking the path of the runner in a legitimate attempt to receive a throw is not considered a violation. The runner can be ruled safe if the umpire determines the catcher violated this rule.
It is an illegal pitch or a balk to throw to an unoccupied base while in contact with the pitching plate (rubber).
Marazzi has consulted for MLB and about half its teams on the rulebook, which he might know better than anyone alive. He confirmed what we already knew: “There is no rule that prohibits a batter from carrying his bat around the bases.
8-2-9 Each runner shall touch his base after the ball becomes dead. All awarded bases must be touched in their proper order. The runner returns to the base he had reached or passed when the ball became dead.
Rule #2: You can't fake a throw to first base
This applies to pick off moves for righties and lefties where they perform their first-base pick off move without stepping off the rubber.
The pitcher does not have to step off the rubber to throw to a base. (You don't want to throw to a base after stepping off. If the throw goes out of play it is a 2 base award. If the throw goes out of play when throw is from the rubber it is a 1 base award.)
Can you touch a player before they touch home plate?
NCAA rule 5-2d prohibits an offensive team member, other than the base coaches, from touching the batter-runner before home plate has been touched.
If a batter-runner is incapacitated during a home run (or any other play where he is entitled to a particular base, such as a walk, a ground rule double, or a ball thrown into the dugout), then his team may use a substitute runner (who then takes his place in the batting order and on the field, unless further replaced) ...
If a catcher blocks the plate without possession of the ball, the runner will be safe. However, a catcher may block the plate to field a throw if the umpire determines he could not have otherwise fielded it and thus contact with the runner could not have been avoided.
In a non-force situation, the fielder must tag a runner with the ball held securely in the hand; or, he can tag the runner with the glove in which the ball is held securely. It is not a legal tag if the ball is in the fielder's hand, and the tag is then made with an empty glove.
On a caught infield fly, runners must tag up in order to advance to the next base. This applies the same as with any catch. If the infield fly falls to fair ground untouched, or is touched and dropped, runners do not need to tag-up. However, since the batter is out, the force play on the other runners is removed.
You cannot steal a base on a “dead” or foul ball. Overthrown or passed balls may be stolen on, as long as the ball is still considered to be “live” The base ahead of you must be unoccupied (unless the runner ahead of you also attempts to steal the base in front of them; this is known as a double steal)
You have asked two questions: Can the 1st baseman get a runner out by tagging the bag with an empty glove when the ball is in the other hand? The answer is “yes.” It is no different from tagging the base with his foot.
Answer: Yes, the batter is out. A fielder can put out a runner by tagging a base with an empty glove. Tagging the base with the glove on your hand is not much different from tagging the base with the shoe on your foot.
The Infield Fly only calls the batter out. It does NOT create a dead-ball situation. Runners are allowed to advance at their own jeopardy the same as any other fly ball.
He confirmed what we already knew: “There is no rule that prohibits a batter from carrying his bat around the bases. This would be legal as long as he does not use the bat to interfere with the play,” Marazzi wrote in an email.
Can you steal 1st base?
"Batters may 'steal' first base on any pitch not caught in flight (the batter can be thrown out if he attempts to run)." Put simply, if there is a wild pitch or passed ball with no runners on base, the batter is allowed to just go for it.
