Which is worse? Throwing error or fielding error.

Post by sikeston bulldog2 »

Good morning.

You ever thought about it? Or is an error just an error.

Infield throwing error- hitter gets to second or third. All other runners score. Ball usually goes down either baseline on a throwing error.
However, on an infield fielding error, most times the hitter only gets first base. And runners only get one base.

So on the nfield, a throwing error is much more devastating.


Outfield.

On an outfield throwing error, all runners may get one base, if that. The hitter might get second, doubtful.

On an outfield fielding error, most runners score, and the hitter gets second or third base.

In this scenario the outfield fielding error is most devastating, creating just the opposite verse the nfield.

Thoughts.
