Baseball Run Accounting: Determining Charged Pitchers
Question
How do you determine which pitcher gets the run when a pitcher comes in in the middle of an inning? The run was scored off a hit from the "relief" pitcher but the scoring runner was on put on base by the previous pitcher(BB).
Answer
The pitcher that is responsible for a specific runner on base is the charged pitcher....
Example: Two men on base, pitching change. Next batter hits a home run. The first two runs are charged to the previous pitcher, teh HR to the latter.
Thanks, for the question.....Andy
