Q: Can I run to first if the catcher drops strike three?

Yes, in Majors you can run on an uncaught third strike if: first base is empty, or there are two outs, even if first base is taken. Otherwise you're out on strike three. Run hard straight away; you're out if the catcher tags you or throws to first before you get there. If your field has a double first base, you can touch either part on this play.
