Inside of Baseball Q and A on fielding and scoring
Questions cover multiple assist eligibility in retiring a runner, proper put outs when a batsman is misplayed, scoring on a deflected ground ball, error attribution on a steal attempt aided by a bad throw, and whether recovering a dropped fly ball to force a runner clears an error.
Rules for Scoring Plays and Defensive Credit
The guideline states that a fielder may be credited with assists on multiple touches during a single out while the pitcher and catcher receive specific putouts or assists. It assigns errors only when baserunners advance extra bases from a misthrow and notes that forcing out another runner can exempt a fielder from an error on a dropped fly.
