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