In the FED rules, it used to be that a batter automatically became a batter-runner on the third strikes with first base empty (less than two outs) or in any situation with two outs. The batter-runner then is "put out" when the catcher catches the ball.

I don't know if it's been cleaned up since then (and I'm simply too lazy to look at the moment), but it kinda parallels this discussion.
