Baseball Instruction - Base stealing

Expert: Brian Flaspohler - 8/6/2008

Question
Brian,
In Pro baseball when can a runner start to steal a base.

Thanks, Jim

Answer
Jim,

Any time the play is live. Basically, as soon as an umpire throws the ball back to the pitcher (after a foul ball) the runner can do what they want.

Between pitches, the runner can go at any time (unless time out is called for some reason).

Hope this helps!

Brian
