Possible to record a ball as a wild pitch?

Post by SiliconTiger » Sun Mar 04, 2012 10:32 pm

The only way that I can find to record a wild pitch is if a runner is on base, and then you can advance a runner due to a wild pitch. But I would like to keep track of a pitcher's wild pitches, even if they occur with no runners on. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

According to the rules of baseball (http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/of ... rer_10.jsp), a Wild Pitch is only credited to a pitcher when a runner advances as a result:

10.13 Wild Pitches And Passed Balls
(a) The official scorer shall charge a pitcher with a wild pitch when a legally delivered ball is so high, so wide or so low that the catcher does not stop and control the ball by ordinary effort, thereby permitting a runner or runners to advance. The official scorer shall charge a pitcher with a wild pitch when a legally delivered ball touches the ground or home plate before reaching the catcher and is not handled by the catcher, thereby permitting a runner or runners to advance. When the third strike is a wild pitch, permitting the batter to reach first base, the official scorer shall score a strikeout and a wild pitch.


If you want to do something unofficial, you can enter notes on the pitches saying they are wild pitches if you would like, but there is not a stat associated with it unless a runner advances as a result.
