A hard ground ball is deflected by the pitcher, picked up by the third baseman and thrown to first baseman at first base for the out. How do you record this on your score sheet?

Rick answered: Thank you for your question.

The play you described goes into the scorebook as a 1-5-3 put out.

The pitcher and 3B get assists, the 1B gets the putout.


Yours in baseball,
