for some reason this has come up a few times . first off if you are talking about local leagues , the league rule prevails. ASA says steal home anytime. In the state ASA tourney we do not allow stealing home at any time. this was adopted when the rules were changed a few years ago.. The reason was to help the kids get a chance to hit rather than just run around the bases. . often at this level the pitcher is more accomplished than the catcher. the situation was everytime a player got to a base they just kept running. So in state play a player can steal 1 base at a time per pitch but cannot come home for any thing other than a walk, error or hit.
