" Ball is considered dead on a catcher's over or under throw to 2nd or 3rd base, during a steal attempt. Runner cannot advance to the next base. (This encourages the throw)
" Stealing of home is allowed. (Preparation for All-Stars)
" A runner that advances on a wild pitch or past ball is considered a steal.
" A catcher's throw to any base is considered a fielder's choice, when a steal was not attempted (i.e. runner going back to the base). Play is live and the runner can attempt to advance to any base (not considered a steal).
" Runner can leave the base only after ball crosses the plate. No leading.
