Hello! I have 2 questions regarding Little League rules.

Please note: Our league play states runners cant steal until the pitch passes home plate.

1) At what point is one pitch "over" and the next pitch begins. Specifically, if a batter walks how long can he keep advancing around the bases on the same "play". when does the next "pitch" begin. Is it until the pitcher has the ball or must he be on the rubber or does the playing action (in this case being the runner advancing from the walk) have to be ceased. Please clarify.

2) Second, I think I read "time" can only be granted between "plays" when the pitcher has the ball on the mound and playing action is stopped. I was then told any fielder can ask for time and it can be granted as long as playing action has ceased on the play. Which one is it. Please clarify.

Thanks, Tony
