And these fools saying its on some little league shyt

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.

It's a great little league play but in the major leagues, the bases are too far and the players throw too fast for this to be effective very often.

In a traditional double steal, the runner from 1st was already leading off and running on the pitch and the catcher has to either throw it down immediately or fake. In this walk situation, the catcher would have time to fake to third before throwing down to 2nd. The runner between 1st and 2nd would have to survive 3-4 throws in the rundown so the guy on 3rd would have time to start sneaking down the line and break for home. If your pitcher is up next and there are two outs, it might be worth a shot but generally this play is going to backfire more often than not.

Did he not steal home on a similar play?

Not exact however close.

not to mention the pitcher would probably have the ball in his glove, not the catcher.
