How many feet are the bases supposed to be apart?
in little league it is 60 feet and in in the MLB it is 90 feet from one base to the other
Total bases is the sum of the player's number of doubles times 2, plus the player's number of triples times 3, plus the player's number of home runs time 4, plus the player's number of singles. Example: A player, for a season, has 40 singles, 20 doubles, 3 triples, and 11 home runs. You would calculate the number of total bases as 40 + (20 * 2) + (3 * 3) + (11 * 4) which works out to 40 + 40 + 9 + 44 or 133 total bases.

What is the difference between a lead off second base with no outs and two out leads?
A player can lead off 2nd with less than 2 outs but not too far because he must tag up to advance with a hit in the air, or steal if he likes, therefor leads tend to be farther. If there are two outs he will take off with the crack of the bat at his own risk if the ball is on the ground. Some Coaches teach a deep lead at second base with two outs which gives the runner a better angle to round third base on contact. You typically want to take a three step lead, then a two shuffle secondary. The only difference between no outs and two is you are deeper with two outs and more aggressive

Why do batters not swing on a 3 to 0 pitch?
When a pitch count is 3-0 that means that the pitcher has only thrown balls. If you don't swing at a ball then it's not a strike. Being that it's 3-0 there is a very high chance that the batter will get walked and will then become a base runner, who can score on a hit.
