If a cancel removes a threatened hit or all hits, do the base runners still move or leave?
Several experienced players agree on this; it follows from the rule that only a hit or walk moves runners.
No. A cancelled hit never happens, so the runners on base stay where they are. Runners advance only when a hit, a walk or a Stolen Base moves them, and cancelling every hit removes only the threatened batters.
