My point was simply that there is no way that a runner leaving early on a pitch is out by his action. I've had LL coaches try and appeal that the runner had a leadoff when the pitch occured so he should be out. That's what I thought the question was about.

Calling a runner out for leaving base early is the rule in some leagues, for example Tar Heel Leagues. But it is not the case in Babe Ruth, and I don't think it is the case in LL.
