Wild pitch goes out of play

[Back In The Saddle]

R2 and R3. Pitcher throws a wild pitch that goes out of play. Where do the runners go?

[Arnold A.]

R3 goes home and R2 goes to third.

Always award 1 base when throw comes from the rubber.

Not quite true ... A pitch or throw from the runner that goes directly out of play is always a one base award.

Example: Wild pitch bounces of F2 and rolls toward dugout & comes to stop PRIOR to leaving play. F2 kicks ball during attempt to pick it up and it now goes into dugout. Award is now two bases (7.05 h AR).

Not quite true....the wild pitch that doesn't go out of play is just that not out play. If a fielder comes along and helps the ball go into DBT, it is not actually a wild pitch that goes into DBT. It is a loose ball that is knocked into DBT.

If we could just get lawump in on this, all would be complete!

This is no longer a wild pitch...

Jim Evans has a nice list of what he calls "deflections," among which the wild pitch stopping and being booted out of play is one example.
