Earned runs

    Hi guys, a question for you:

    1. the catcher doesn’t catch the third strike on a wild pitch and the batter-runner is safe on first base
    2. the catcher doesn’t catch the third strike on a passed ball and the batter-runner is safe on first base

    If in both cases the batter-runner subsequently scores a run in the inning, is the run earned or unearned?

    I assume earned (1) because wild pitch is pitcher’s fault, unearned (2) because passed ball is considered such as an error in recostructing the inning.

    What do you think about that?

      You are correct in both cases…earned on the wild pitch, unearned on the passed ball. But I must point out, it doesn’t matter what you or I or anybody else thinks…them’s the rules.

      An earned run is any run scored against a pitcher that does not come as a result of an error or a passed ball. It is frequently the official scorer’s decision.
