There are many reasons for the decision to give a mediocre athlete a full ride to college. Mainly the reason is because either they know they are going to lose a player in a couple years, and that they want someone good to replace him/her. Also even if the athlete doesn't play, there may be other reasons for the full ride (influence, spirit, etc.)
If you think about it, they do. Most college athletes are on full scholarships which is basically like getting paid.
Some sports offer full rides, some offer partials and some offer nothing.
Yes, usually the only two sports that offer full ride scholarships to all of their lettermen are football and basketball. The rest usually have athletes on partial scholarships.

Some ways for students can find financial aid, and scholarships for college just happens to be getting a full-time job. They will help you with those type of situations.

how can i get full scholarship in US
Yes, they can, but only if you also have a really good SAT or ACT score and the college you are attending offers full tuition scholarships for high academic performance. Most corporate scholarships base scholarships off of high academic performance AND extracurriculars or community service.
As far as I know, nearly every college baseball program will offer scholarships. The value of the scholarship will more or less depend on the talent of the athlete. NCAA and NAIA schools offer scholarships, but it is rare for a player to get a 100% full ride on just baseball. Baseball programs do not have the budgets that football has, thus cannot give out tons of free money. If you are looking for actual specific numbers on how many schools give scholarships, I can't help you.

Most do, but you usually have to demonstrate financial need. Schools that are "need blind" and private (they have more money) will be more likely to provide full scholarships.
