ASA rules state that the batter becomes a runner when fewer than two outs and 1st base is unoccupied at the time of the pitch or two outs and 1st base is occupied. What deems "at the time of the pitch". Case in point; runner on 1B less than two outs takes off for second base upon pitchers' release of the ball, that pitch is a dropped third strike on the batter. Does the batter become a runner in that situation.

Nope. Don't confuse "Time of Pitch" with "when the pitch crossed the plate."
