In general, if there are base runners, the pitcher should run to cover home. If there are no runners on, the pitcher can just stay on the mound.

Does the run count in a school game where the catcher throws the ball back to the pitcher he misses it the umpire picks it up and tosses it back to the pitcher while the runner on third steals home?
If the umpire picked it up the run should not count because the umpire had probably called a timeout before he picked it up. If not the run should not count anyway because it is interference on the umpires part.
What are the defense positions in baseball?
When batting you need to have the batting stance. Elbows out, not to your side, non-dominant arm's elbow pointed at the pitcher. You should also be leaning backward on your dominant foot. You should also be horizontal to the pitcher. Afterthat, when the ball is in your sight and is out of the pitcher's hand, slide your dominant foot towards the pitcher, swing the bat and follow through. In offensive positions you usually have one foot on the base and one stepping off. You should be looking at the pitcher or batter and most of the time the catcher. Also, knees bent and hands on your knees can be very affective to get you ready to run.
Why does the pitcher get the credit or is charged when a TEAM wins or loses a game Why not the shortstop or the catcher?
The pitcher usually gets the most credit because they are suposively doing the most. Even though the catcher does just as much catching every pitch.

Should 9 year old boys pitch almost 50 mph?
In the end, it's whatever is most comfortable to the pitcher. If it is going to hurt someone (I.E., a catcher isn't as prepared, the pitcher doesn't have good aim, etc) he should not. If the pitcher can and can comfortably without hurting himself, go for it.
What is a pass ball?
Passed BallA pitch that should have been fielded by the catcher but was missed, allowing a runner to advance a base.Note: this is not the same thing as a wild pitch, which is scored as the pitchers fault.I presume you mean "passed ball." This is a ball that gets past the catcher when thrown by the pitcher, when the catcher should have caught it. It is distinct from a wild pitch, which is one where the pitcher, not the catcher, is considered to have been at fault. The distinction between the two have no effect on the final score. The decision on whether a ball is a wild pitch or a passed ball is made by the official scorer at the game.

How do you get your pitcher not to be afraid of hitting the batter?
Have your pitcher only focus on the strike zone. Have him/her think they are a hunter. A hunter looks into the scope and looks straight down the barrel. In this case the barrel is the line from the pitcher's eyes to the strike zone. If he or she looks at the strike zone and the catcher's glove only, they should not have a problem with hitting batters.
