Rule 7, Section 4-B states, " If a batter swings and misses the pitch prior to the ball hitting the ground or the plate, it is a strike. EFFECT: The ball is dead."
Rule 8, Section 6-G states, "Exception: (Men's Slow pitch)- Runners may advance after the ball reaches the front edge of home plate.
I cannot locate a compromise for stealing and a ball swung and missed by a batter. Is the ball live or dead? Can a runner still advance on a ball that is swung at, but missed?
I'd appreciate any input on the stealing rule. It is sure to be an interesting season watching teams try to use and misuse this rule.
