Base-Running and Scoring Percentages
*the data listed below is based on 60 years and thousands of Major League baseball games
Runner on First Base | Runner on Second Base | Runner on Third Base |
0 out = 43% | 0 out = 60% | 0 out = 70% |
1 out = 29% | 1 out = 45% | 1 out = 54% |
2 out = 14% | 2 out = 26% | 2 out = 32% |
The data listed above shows us the percent that a runner would score when they are at a specific base with a specific number of outs. For example a runner reaching first base with no outs will score 43% of the time, where as a runner reaching second base with no outs will score 60% of the time. The increase of 17% makes you want ot hustle out of the box and look to get to second base on a ball hit to the outfield. Always think "DOUBLE" out of the box on a ball hit through the infield. Numbers don't lie!
