One Answer:If the ball is dead, the act of the offensive player picking up the ball in the field of play will have no impact on the play.

If the ball is live, it will probably be called interference and the umpires will determine who is out and which bases the runners will go to.

But it's impossible to say for sure without knowing the details of the play.

Another Answer:If an offense player picks up the ball in the field of play after an overthrow, it is a live ball and the players advance at their own risk. There is no indication in your question of interference or any occurrence that would make it a dead ball (i. e., fan interference, ball thrown into the dugout and back onto the field or play, etc.).

Does a runner have to tag up to advance if an outfielder juggles the flyball?

Once the ball is first touched on the fly by a player, runners can begin to advance. For example, if a line drive caroms off the glove of the second basemen and flies out to the right fielder who catches it on the fly, runners would only have to tag up until the ball hit the second basemen's glove.

If the ball is touched by a defensive player and then travels out of play, and runners would be allowed to advance 2 bases. They would advance without risk to be thrown out. When a ball travels out of play a dead ball will be called and the correct amounts of bases will be awarded by the home plate umpire.

A balk is called with runners on base and the batter hits the ball for an out. What happens?

The balk is void if the ball is hit. Just as if there was no balk called. If your batter hits the balked pitch and grounds out then he is out. Runners advance at their own risk. This is dependent on the league that is being played. In high school, a balk is immediate meaning that if the ball is hit it means nothing and the runners all move up a base. But in some leagues, it is a delayed balk. This means that if the batter reaches base and all runners move up a base the balk is waved off. At no point does the balk benefit the defense. A balk is a punishment to deceiving the offensive players or in this case the runners. So in reality the balk at no point turns void unless the offense benefits from the play.
