If the batter swings at such a pitch after two strikes, the ball cannot be caught, for the purposes of rule 6.05 (c) and 6.09 (b). If the batter hits such a pitch, the ensuing action shall be the same as if he hit the ball in flight.

What is the number of feet from first base to second base?
88 feet, the same as from home to first.
AnswerThis is a trick question. The distance from point to point is exactly 90 feet, but each bag is 1 foot wide, which means that the distance between them is, in fact, 88 feet.Each bag is a 15 inch by 15 inch square. First base is entirely inside the infield but second base is centered on the 90 foot point. So 90 feet minus 15 inches minus 7.5 inches = 90 feet minus 22.5 inches or 88 feet 1.5 inches.
Is it called a catcher or back catcher?
The full term is Catcher. In Canada it is referred to as Back Catcher.
Both are not correct. If it it must be part of your vernacular, then so be it, but both are not correct. If there is a "Back Catcher" then where is the "Front Catcher."
In Canada the term "hardball" is used too. Yes, a Baseball is hard, but the ball used in the game is a 'Baseball.'
I am a Canadian and am familiar with the term " back catcher." But it was always used in relation to kid's games of softball -- never baseball. "Hardball " is slang and has been used for generations in Canada to distinguish between thosewho play the game using the harder sphere as opposed to the game employing the lighter sphere that doesn't hurt so much when it hits you.

A base hit is a statistic credited to a batter when such batter reaches base safely, as set forth in this Rule 10.05.
(a) The official scorer shall credit a batter with a base hit when:
(6) a fielder unsuccessfully attempts to put out a preceding runner and, in the official scorer's judgment, the batter-runner would not have been put out at first base by ordinary effort.
(b)The official scorer shall not credit a base hit when a:
(4) fielder fails in an attempt to put out a preceding runner and, in the scorer's judgment, the batter-runner could have been put out at first base;
It all depends on what the official scorer thinks the possibility of a put out at 1st is. If they think the batter would have been out if they went directly to first then the batter doesnt get credit for a hit, if the score keeper feels he would have been safe, then it is a hit.
**If any lead runner is thrown out, then it is no hit, and scored as a fielder's choice
