Shouldn’t there be ramifications of throwing a wild pitch/passed ball even if nobody is on base? Just playing devils advocate. Calling it “stealing first” is really dumb though. Also along the same lines shouldn’t a balk advance a runner to first.
I don’t think this is a necessary rule change however and calling it stealing first is a way to immediately cause people to disregard it.
