Base Stealing. a. Runners may only advance one base on a passed ball or wild pitch per batter b. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ stealing (stealing a base on the throw back to the pitcher) is not permitted. c. When a batter is awarded first base (for a walk, hit by pitch, or other award), the batter/runner may not advance beyond first base (e.g., may not steal second base before the next pitch is thrown). d. A runner on 3B (R3) at the time of the pitch may not advance to home, EXCEPT on a batted ball or when forced home due to a walk, hit-by-pitcher, or other award (e.g., catcher’s interference). Note that this rule only applies to a runner on third base at the time of the pitch and not to runners on 1B (R1) or 2B (R2) at the time of the pitch.
