Does a pitcher have to throw to third when playing on a runner?
No, he could throw to home plate!
Who backs up the pitcher on a throw back from the catcher to home plate on a pass ball where the runner is trying to steal home from third?
another player
Runner steals third base and pitcher commits a balk at the same time is the runner awarded home plate?
No. The balk happens before the pitch, so the play is called dead and the runner is allowed to advance rather than attempt the steal. This happens some times, the pitcher will commit the balk because they see the runner make the break to steal, they don't get to make a throw to a base or to the plate because the umpires stop the play to call the balk.
How many balls can a pitcher throw in one inning without the other team scoring?
Number of Balls a Pitcher Can Throw in One InningOn the 16th bal, the original player that was "walked" will cross the home plate. So 15 balls are the most you can throw in one inning. 23 - If the pitcher picks-off 2 of the runners, he can then walk two more batters before pithing 3 balls to the final batter.I think that it could be 24. If the pitcher picks off 2 of the runners after loading the bases as you say. The pitcher walks two more hitters to load the bases. Then the pitcher throws 4 balls to the next hitter but the runner from third fails to touch home plate and on appeal, that runner is called out to end the inning.
If a pitcher faces home plate through what angle does he need to turn to face first base?
If the pitcher is not on the pitcher's plate, he can turn as far as he wants to look at the runner on first base. If the pitcher is on the pitcher's plate, and his shoulder turns more than 45 degrees toward first base (halfway between home and first), it is generally interpreted to be a pick-off attempt.
What is a home plate collision?
A home plate collision is usually the case of a base runner that was on one of the bases trying to reach home plate in order to score while the other team's Catcher is trying to block home plate in order to prevent the base runner from touching home plate in an effort to prevent a run from scoring and the runner and the base runner usually slides into the Catcher that is blocking home plate which is what one example of a home plate collision is.

Bases loaded runner from third misses home is he out on appeal?
Anytime a runner misses a base and an appeal is made he would be called out if the umpire saw it. Suppose only 1 runner crossed the plate, if the ball was thrown home and the catcher stepped on the plate the umpire would call him out (even if the runner is halfway back to the dugout), if multiple runners cross the plate, then and a ball is thrown home in play, the umpire will only make the "safe/out" call of the last runner to cross, or the play at the plate. In this case you would need to go through an official appeal process (ball to the pitcher on the mound, steps off the mound, throws home, catcher steps on the plate) --- The umpire will know what you are doing and if he saw it the same way, will call the runner that "missed home" out ---- If this would have been the 3rd out, his run and any runners that crossed home after him will not count
If their is a guy on 1st and 3rd where does the pitcher back-up?
That would depend on the play. If there are men on first and third and no outs and the batter hits a fly ball that looks like it could be a sacrifice fly, the pitcher will back up home because he will expect the outfielder to throw the ball to home plate after making the catch. If there are men on first and third and the batter hits a single to right field, the pitcher will back up third base just in case the runner on first tries for third and the right fielder makes a poor throw.
If a batter who has bunted the ball in fair territory and is running to 1st base now intentionally trying to block the throw to the first baseman from the catcher and is hit by the ball on the throw?
This is umpire's discretion, but usually if the runner is in the runner's lane (the two parallel lines starting half-way up the foul line between home plate and first base) the runner will not be called out. However, if in the umpire's judgment the runner is in the runner's lane but is deliberately trying to interfere with the throw, the runner can be called out for interference.
Which of the players on a baseball team stand on the mound?
