In Youth Baseball, can a runner steal if the pitch does not make contact with the catcher or their glove?

If the machine pitches the ball and the ball say hits the kids face mask and bounces back to the back of the cage..can a kid at first steal second? Also if he makes contact with the ball but it does not touch his glove..can he steal?

generally yes becaus ethe rule is once the ball crosses the plate and it never says anythign about the catcher missing the ball. alot of times in youth baseball a steal only occurs when there is a past ball so Im saying yes
