I'd like to get some actual data on what percentage of time a runner on third scores with zero, one, or two outs. Also would like to know the same about 2 runners when both are in scoring position.
Since it varies, I'd like numbers from 12u teams. If you could also indicate your pitchers' K/BB ratio and what level you play (WSQ's, All Star, etc) that would be helpful. There are a zillion other variables, but this will be a good start and give me a decent picture.
I'm trying to see if data supports or refutes 'defensive indifference' when a team holds a runner on third base and allows another runner to move into scoring position. My theory is that BOTH runners will score pretty often with zero or one outs, but that runner on third will almost always score with zero or one outs. I think in many cases it would make sense for my team to NOT allow a second RISP even though this concedes a run who will almost always score anyway. Our K/BB is 3:1, but pitchers only walk 0-2 and K 4-5 per game.
Some actual data would be quite helpful. I don't currently have any data but will start tracking this.
Thanks for any help.
