I guess I'm still trying to work out how a runner can be "off with the pitch" yet beat the ball to the plate. Sign that guy up! He's faster than lightning.

It means you break with first movement or sometimes even before. That's how you steal home. Entirely possible if you get a slow reaction from the pitcher.

Absolutely and seeing as how most youth pitchers go into the wind up rather than stay in the stretch with bases loaded, it takes longer for the ball to be released so the runner has a jump on the pitcher if he goes on 1st movement.

Heck, Coach Paul, I'm still trying to work out how a pitch that is already in the strike zone can hit a runner who is making a head-first slide before said runner touches the plate?

So less than 2 strikes is a "strike call" and runner out?

Fed: No. You call the pitch and the ball is dead. Each runner except the batter is awarded one base. 8-3-1a.

(edited to remove completely incorrect response)

The pitch is either a strike or a ball. The runner from third is awarded home and all other runners advance one base. The batter remains at the plate with a ball or strike added to the count.

Yes, if the pitch is in the zone. No, if the pitch is not in the zone.

Bob, how is the runner out?

He's not. I apparently mis-read the question. I'll edit my response.
