Defensive Indifference (DI)

Defensive Indifference occurs when the team on defense allows a base runner(s) to advance without attempting to make a play to get the runner out.

Again, it’s usage is dependent on the age and skill level of the youth baseball league. This occurrence is also substituted as a Stolen Base “SB”.

Defensive Indifference is noted following the same rules for advancing on a Pass Ball or Wild Pitch, except that the letters “DI” are entered.
