Clearing it up
Bob beat me to this one. All outs on the bases are not considered caught stealing. Also all advances are not stolen bases. I know of many high school players who get credited with several stolen bases each season for simply moving up on a wild pitch or passed ball. If the player was originally running with the pitch and the ball gets by the catcher then it is a stolen base. If the player advances BECAUSE of the ball getting by the catcher it is not a stolen base.
