Wild Pitch (WP)

A Wild Pitch occurs when a pitch get past the catcher, and that pitch is deemed uncatchable by the Official Scorer, and a runner(s) advances. Like the Passed Ball, this call is made at the discretion of the Official Scorer. As a team scorer use your own discretion when determining between a Wild Pitch and a Passed Ball.

The scoring of the Wild Pitch is similar to that of the Passed Ball except that the notation “WP” is used to denote this event. Again, the respective cells for all advancing runners must be updated to reflect that the base was obtained from a Wild Pitch.

If the runner scores a run on a Wild Pitch an RBI is NOT credited.
