Understanding RBI Rules: When Does a Batter Get Credit?
Question I have been told that for every run scored there should be an RBI recorded, no matter what. Is this true?
Answer Bill,
It is not true that for every run scored there should be an RBI. For example, a runner scores from third on a wild pitch. Which batter did anything to score that runner? Contrary to what many think, you can't get an RBI for just being at bat.
