Baseball Rule

1st and 3rd, runner at first steals second early before pitcher comes set (like a force balk play)
Pitcher comes set and delivers. Ball is fouled off.
Does the runner have to go back to first?

I think they’re fine if they stole the base before the pitcher came set

Runner stays at 2nd base.

This is how it was ruled. I had never seen nor heard of this
Follow up question, what if the ball is popped up. Does the runner have to return to first to avoid being doubled up?

He reached 2nd prior to delivery? Stays at 2nd

As long as he reaches 2nd prior to delivery, I believe.

If they are established on 2nd before he begins his motion they stay. Anything else they go back

Stay at 2nd but the chances of this are astronomical. Are we talking 8U?

Runner stays at 2B since he’s there before time of pitch.
