I am curious about scoring stolen bases. Are stolen bases always reflected in the catcher's stats even if the base is stolen on the pitcher? It seems to skew the stats for catchers especially when a pitcher holds runners very poorly.

Doesn't seem fair but I believe that's the way it goes. One of the reasons that catching, more than any other position, can't really be quantified the way so much of baseball is. POP time, ability to block BIDs, calling a game, leadership, giving pitchers confidence, and a lot of other intangibles make great catchers but those stats never show up - just the SB %.

I see - I guess the same can be said aboutpasses from a QB that go through a receiver's hands and get picked off. It would seem that a score keeper could discriminate on bases stole on pitchers vs those stolen on catchers. Thanks for the response Craig.

Pitchers often get screwed to... OF slips or looses ball in the sun, bad hops on the IF... go down as a hits and can jack up the ERA, BA against, etc. Baseball's like everything else... it just isn't fair

its my opinion that MOST bases are stolen on the pitcher........
all it takes is a timer.......time the delivery to the plate............time the catchers pop time...........if the runner can get a 2nd quicker than those 2 numbers combined..............send him...........
