this is after the fielder has caught a ground ball

Yes, it's the same as if the 2nd baseman or shortstop grabs a ground ball and steps on the base.  When the player has control of the ball it essentially becomes a part of his body.  Any part of him could touch the base and the runner would be called out.

If I remember correctly from my umpiring days, if a defensive player throws any part of his equipment at a batted ball and it makes contact, the batter and runners are awarded 3 bases, (It's the only 3 base award, and the most  severe) but the ball is still alive, and the batter can try to take home on his own if he/she wishes.  It doesn't matter on the park or the league, it is not an individual ground rule.\n\nFrom the baseball rule book:\n\n7.05\nEach runner including the batter runner may, without liability to be put out, advance...(b) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a fair ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril;  c) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril.

If it hits the pither on the foot it is like hitting no one since there is no pither on the team BUT if it hits the pitcher on the foot the following rule from mlb rule book applies.  Key is if there is stilll a possible play by another infielder (in the umpire's judgement)\n\n If a fair ball goes through, or by, an infielder, and touches a runner immediately back of him, or touches the runner after having been deflected by a fielder, the umpire shall not declare the runner out for being touched by a batted ball. In making such decision the umpire must be convinced that the ball passed through, or by, the fielder, and that no other infielder had the chance to make a play on the ball. \n\nHope this helps

Both the pitcher and the catcher exert an equal impulse on the ball to change its momentum.  The pitcher applies a force over a certain length of time to accelerate the ball and change its momentum....then the catcher reverses the change in momentum by exerting another force over a certain length of time.\n\nHowever, the different between what the pitcher does and what the catcher does is the length of time the total impulse is delivered.  The pitcher has a "windup" and "pitch" to accelerate the ball....which takes a comparatively much longer period of time than the split second the catcher stops the ball in.\nThe catcher must exert a much greater force over a shorter length of time to stop the ball compared to the pictures smaller force applied over a longer period of time.\n\nAt any given time, there is some force F acting on the ball, but over time as the force is applied, an overall impulse is applied on the ball to change its momentum.  Force more of an instantaneous concept, compared to impulse which takes into account the time it takes to apply the force.

the person who is on base get the credit for the run scored. in order to get credit you have to be on the base and not replaced by a pinchrunner

Unless the ball is ruled dead by the umpire, any runner can attempt to advance.  Since the batter was not entitled to try and advance, he would just be directed back to the batter's box to finish his at-bat.  If the catcher makes a throw to 1st base, it simply creates a better opportunity for the runner at 3rd to score.

Give him a single, then however he got out at 2nd (for example if the 1stbaseman threw to the SS... it would be 3-6)

He's safe.  Rule 7.05(d): Each runner including the batter runner may, without liability to be put out, advance-\n\n(d) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a thrown ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play

The play stands, by Rule 7.05 (c & e):\n\nEach runner including the batter runner may, without liability to be put out, advance-\n\n(c) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril.\n\n(e) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a thrown ball. The ball is in play; In applying (b c d e) the umpire must rule that the thrown glove or detached cap or mask has touched the ball. There is no penalty if the ball is not touched. Under (c e) this penalty shall not be invoked against a fielder whose glove is carried off his hand by the force of a batted or thrown ball, or when his glove flies off his hand as he makes an obvious effort to make a legitimate catch.

practice the pick off move more during practice, or have the pitcher hit the runner real hard with the ball and maybe he'll think twice about stealing

The umpire rules the roost. If you are doing something that you shouldn't be doing in the ball park, she can throw you outside the park.

From second to third, because there is a shortstop in the middle.

Batter reaches on fielder's choice.  Does not get credit for a hit.  Not sure if he gets an RBI for that, though.  Would tend to believe he does.

The pitcher is a relief pitcher who came in after the first pitcher gave up 3 runs.  The relief pitcher struck out the next 27 batters.

yes, this is called the infield fly rule.  it was put into effect so fielders couldn't just drop the ball to create an easy force out.\n\nThe infield fly rule applies when there are fewer than 2 outs, and there are runners on first and second base, or on first, second and third base.

No! After he contacts the ball, one or both feet can come crashing down on the plate provided neither foot was touching the ground outside the batters box during his hitting of the ball.\n\nMLB rule 6.06\nA batter is out for illegal action when --\n(a) He hits a ball with one or both feet on the ground entirely outside the batter’s box.\nRule 6.06(a) Comment: If a batter hits a ball fair or foul while out of the batter’s box, he shall be called out. \n\n\nIf a batter, batting from the right side of the plate, steps on home plate to intentionally interfere with the catcher attempting to make a play on his hit ball, the batter will be called out for interference, not because he stepped on home plate but because he caused interference by not running directly to first base.\n\nIf you are asking a trick question, :) the answer is still no, stepping on home plate to complete an inside the park home run is required.

The fourth. That is when the batters usually get their second look at  a pitcher and can adapt to them
