Depends.  If it was meant for the other team and you make a complete catch, it would be.  If was intended for your own team, its just a pass.  If you do not maintain control, say from the pain of getting hit there by a football, you will fumble and the pass will be imcomplete.

throw a ball against an uneven wall and try to catch it, you wont know where it is going so you need to react fast

A passed ball is not charged as an error on the catcher.  However, an errant throw by the catcher when attempting to prevent a steal results in a runner advancing, an error is charged to the catcher.\n\nFor more detail, see MLB Rule 10.08.  The official rules for the scorekeeper.

First of all, they can't jump from a "great height." They could get hurt, and the speed of their fall would make it difficult for people to catch them. I recommend having them stand on a table edge, turn around backwards, and fall. The catchers should be two-by-two, facing each other, with their arms paralell to each other. For example, a girl stands facing left with her arms in front of her. The next person faces right with his fingertips next to that persons shoulder, and so on down the line.\nThe amount of catchers should be based on the height of the person falling.

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

puting the ball threw someones legs

The above answer is WRONG.  He's looking at the wrong rule!!!\n\nHe's awarded 2nd base.  Rule 7.05(h) One base, if a ball pitched to a batter, or thrown by the pitcher\nfrom his position on the pitcher's plate to a base to catch a runner, goes into a stand or a bench, or over or through a field fence or backstop.\n\nMaybe he should read the rules instead of copying and pasting them.

Yes, it is legal for a runner at 3rd base to steal home when the cathcer throws the ball back to the pitcher. This happened recently in the major leagues, in fact it was August 11th 2005, when jason kendall of the oakland A's scored from 3rd base, on a bad throw from catcher bengie molina to pitcher francisco rodriguez. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. \n\nhere is the page with the video file of the play with jason kendall:\n\nhttp://oakland.athletics.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/wrap.jsp?ymd=20050811&content_id=1166417&vkey=wrapup2005&fext=.jsp&team=home

By rule, if the catcher fails to catch the first strike, the runner may attempt to advance to first base and must be thrown or tagged out. Occasionally, if the ball gets behind the catcher, the runner may make it to first. If so, he is safe at first just as if he walked or got a base hit.\nThe exception is when first base is occupied at the time -- then, the above rule does not apply and the batter is out.

It's up to the umpire. Usually the runner is "safe" unless the ball was clearly on base before the runner. Any doubts means the runner gets the benefit of the doubt. \nCan't give you the rule- as it is now well over 10 years since I called a game

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

He only needs to return to the base after a foul ball, or any fly ball that is caught. Then the runner can do whatever he or she wants.

They are not required to run to the base, they can try to beat it out.  If the catcher drops the ball or it goes wild on strike three then the player can advance to first.  It is to penalize the catcher and pitcher for not having made the play on the ball (basically if you can't keep control of a slider, breaking ball, or curve ball and it goes wild, the player who also missed the ball with the bat should get a chance at first)

The runner is out, with the putout going to the closest fielder, the batter is safe at first on a fielders choice.

You said the ball was not yet foul, so it would still be in play after bouncing off the 3rd baseman.\n\nI hope you aren't asking this in the middle of a game....lol

Is this a baseball question?
