-Same as hit&run, plus less risk of forcing the batter to swing at a bad pitch
Cons:
-Same as hit & run, except will result in more attempts to throw the runner out at second since sometimes the batter will take the pitch
When to use:
-Same as hit & run
-Full count, because a ball means the runner is automatically safe so the risk of being thrown out is lower

I would say it's a BIT different than a hit and run.
On a Hit and Run, the runner isn't trying to STEAL the base, but get a headstart from first.
On a Run and Hit, the runner IS trying to steal the base.
Good answers though.
