I need the wisdom of the veteran OFC'rs.
I keep score for my dd's high school team. I make sure to keep the stats as correctly as I can for all the girls.
Yesterday I was talking to the catchers dad and he brought up a good point. So now I need clarification if I am actually scoring this correctly. Here goes:
Runner on third and first. When first pitch is thrown the runner on first pretty much "skips" to second base. The catcher does not make a play (by choice) because there is a runner on third that could score. Is this a stolen base? or should it be considered a fielders choice since it was to the catchers discretion NOT to make a throw to second?
For the record, I have been scoring it as a stolen base for the last 2+ years. But he got me thinking that maybe I shouldn't be.
