Say there is a man on third, the batter at the plate walks, but instead of jogging to first he sprints and rounds first base and attempts to steal second giving an opportunity for the man on third to take home if the catcher decides to attempt to throw out the walked batter.
Can This Tactic Be Used In Baseball?

True. Thats when the defense is caught sleeping though. If a batter sprints to first after a walk everyone will be on

Okay what about a casual jog followed by a sprint around second?

Could work. Especially if the pitcher is distracted/having a bad game, but the second the batter rounds first and everyone starts shouting, the pitchers first instinct will be to watch the runner on third. Chances are it still wouldn't work on any other team but the astros.
