  1. DEFENSIVE DOUBLE PLAY AND GROUND INTO DOUBLE PLAY Pablo Carpio

  2. INTRODUCTION:MAIN IDEADIFFERENCE BEETWEEN GROUND INTO DOUBLE PLAY (GDP) AND DEFENSIVE DOUBLE PLAY (DP):GROUND INTO A DOUBLE PLAY IS A SPECIFIC ACTION BY THE DEFENSE WITH A GROUNDER BALL, WITH RUNNERS FORCED TO ADVANCE…

  3. …WHILE A DEFENSIVE DOUBLE PLAY IS ANY KIND OF ACTION WHICH LEADS DEFENCE TO GET TWO CONSECUTIVE PUTOUTS WITHOUT INTERRUPTION DURING THE PLAY It means that a successfully completed GDP will be always a DP action.

  4. a) OBR Definition and Concept:Grounded into double play - This is charged against a batter when the situation on the field meets the following criteria:1. Less than two out.2. One or more runners forced to advance.3. Ground ball to the infield that results in two or three putouts, or that would have done so if it had not been for errors. 1st PART: GROUND INTO DOUBLE PLAY

  5. The symbol for grounded into double play is “GDP” written inside the circle that indicates the putout of the same batter, and we link the 2 putouts with a straight line:(Video Tpe-Mex 3)or, in the event that he reached first base, the box for first base. 1st part: GDP

  6. Each time that the initials “GDP” appear on the score report we must charge a “Grounded into Double Play” against the batter by recording it in the appropriate column on the offensive team’s sheet. 1st part: GDP

  7. AND WE SHALL CREDIT FOR THE PLAYERS TAKING ACTION:* One assist to each of the participating players;* The correspondent putouts (if these putouts were actually done)* One (and only one) participation in defensive DP action for each one of the players who intervened on the play, only if the GDP ended in 2 real putouts: 1st part: GDP

  8. MOST COMMON GDP’s ARE: 64>43; 46>63 or 54>43...(Video Ned-Tpe 3)IT COULD BE ALSO 36>63, 16>63, 14>43… AND MANY TIMES THESE ACTIONS ARE THE MOST SPECTACULAR DEFENSIVE PLAYS:(Videos nr 8 and 9) 1st part: GDP

  9. IF ONLY ONE PUTOUT IS MADE, AND THE DEFENCE DIDN’T MAKE AN ERROR, IT WILL BE A NORMAL “OCCUPIED BALL” PLAY: In this example, GDP with O6 is not possible, cause the Scorer must not presume that DP action would have been successfully completed. 1st part: GDP

  10. A) NOT ALWAYS THE BATTER IS PUTOUT ON FIRST:With first and second bases occupied, the batter hits a ground ball to the third baseman who puts out the runner who is forced to third base, and completes the double play by assisting the second baseman. A GDP is charged against the batter-runner, even though he was not put out himself. And his arrival in 1st is also recorded as Occupied Ball. 1st part: GDP SOME RELEVANT THINGS ABOUT GDP:

  11. * Rule 10.04.b.1) A GDP batting (normal or inverse) is not an RBI, so we use a specific symbol:(A horizontal line over batter’s number who hit GDP) * This Rule also is applied in the case of decisive error by 1st baseman if he muffs a good throw (Rule 10.04.b.2) 1st part: GDP B) GDP AND RBI – NOT POSSIBLE

  12. C) GDP IN THE EVENT OF DECISIVE ERROR:* If in the Scorer’s judgment, there was a clear defensive opportunity to get the putout, then we also credit a GDP for the batter: - It could be an error on first base… OBR, 10.12.d.3) Comment: “When a fielder muffs a thrown ball which, if held, would have completed a double play or triple play, charge an error to the fielder who drops the ball and credit an assist to the fielder who made the throw”.(The first baseman muffed a good throw) 1st part: GDP

  13. - It could be an error on second base, with or without assist….In this case, the GDP is credited cause DP action was clearly possible). - And it could be error on second and first bases:(Shorstop failed on stepping the base, buthe assisted in first with time and accuracyenough to have got the put out, if the error by 1st baseman wouldn’t have happened) 1st part: GDP (if the shortstop, -eg.- missed the tag of the runner or to step the base

  14. OBR, 10.12.d.3) (No error shall be charged) against any fielder who makes a wild throw in attempting to complete a double play or triple play, (exempted error)…(video Ned-Tpe 2)… unless such wild throw enables any runner to advance beyond the base he would have reached had the throw not been wild”. (not exempted error, cause the Scorer has to justify every advance) 1st part: GDP D) GDP, EXTRA BASE ERRORS AND EXEPMTED ERRORS

  15. So, the advance due to the extrabase error can be for the batter himself …and/or for another runner) (video World Series 09 nr 1) (video nr 10: Don’t try this at home!) 1st part: GDP

  16. 1st part: GDP E) TRIPLE PLAY AND UFO’s: DO THEY REALLY EXIST? If 3 runners are putout during the same consecutive play, without an interruption, then the Scorer shall credit a GDP for the batter, and assists and putouts done by the defensive team during that play. Remember: the advances must be forced The criteria for errors (decisive and extrabase) are the same as in normal GDP. Yes, Triple play and UFOs exist: (video nr 14)

  17. In some cases, the advance of the last runner (who is also putout) IS NOT FORCED, due to the “chronologically” previous putouts. In these cases, the Scorer shall credit also GDP: 1st part: GDP E) GROUND INTO “TRIPLE” PLAYS with no forced advance: (Video nr 7 and Video nr 13)

  18. OBR 10.02.a.17.Comment):“The Official Scorer should not charge a batter with grounding into Double Play if batter-runner is called out by interference by a preceding runner”:(Added in 2007) (OUTS BY RULE 13 & 14) 1st part: GDP F) TWO OUTS DUE TO DOUBLE … INTERFERENCE

  19. OBR10.11) The Official Scorer shall credit participation in a double play or triple play to each fielder who earns a putout or an assist when two or three players are put out between the time a pitch is delivered and the time the ball next becomes dead or is next in possession of the pitcher in pitching position, unless an error or misplay intervenes between putouts.But the Rule about the Errors states this:OBR10.12.d.4) “(The Official Scorer shall not charge an error) against any fielder when, after fumbling a ground ball or dropping a fly ball, a line drive or a thrown ball, the fielder recovers the ball in time to force out a runner at any base. 1st part: GDP G) GDP AND DP REQUIRE A CONTINUOUS PLAY:

  20. Let's analyze Example 61 of “Old” Scoring Manual: Both offensive players are put out, but the first baseman drops the ball thrown by the second baseman, then recovers it in time to put out the batter-runner. This misplay, although not decisive, interrupts the continuity of action and therefore this is not a defensive double play. For the above reasons, the assist to second base is not recorded on the scoresheet, and it would be advisable to record it in the notes. 1st part: GDP So: Shall we score this play like this, or it was also a Defensive DP?Is it a “fair” scoring if we don't credit GDP?

  21. (Again): OBR10.11) “The Official Scorer shall credit participation in a double play or triple play to each fielder who earns a putout or an assist when two or three players are put out between the time a pitch is delivered and the time the ball next becomes dead or is next in possession of the pitcher in pitching position, unless an error or misplay intervenes between putouts.10.11. Comment: The OS shall credit a double play or triple play also if an appeal play after the ball is in possession of the pitcher results in an additional putout.To remember: DP not need to be a Grounder: DP not need to be Forced Outs. 2nd PART: DOUBLE PLAYs: criteria and examples

  22. After Appeal Play, this example can be turned into this scoring: 2nd part: DP PLAYS The center throws to home plate; the runner scores, but then the catcher throws to third, appealing that the runner left the base before the catch: the umpire accepts the appeal, so It’s a Double Play, and the OS also shall credit assist to CF and Catcher, because of the Rule 10.10.a.1) Comment:

  23. Rule 10.10.a.1) Comment: “If a putout results from an appeal play within the natural course of the play, the Official Scorer shall give assists to each fielder, except the fielder making the out, whose action led to the putout”. (Added in 2007)Therefore, in this example, the OS shall credit an assist to LF

  24. * FLY/LINE OUT + PUT OUT:* Triple Play:(Video Tpe – Mex 2) (Videos nr 5 -6) FREQUENT TYPES OF DEFENSIVE DOUBLE PLAYS

  25. DP = Triple play: also possible with 3 outs!!(Watch Videos 4 and 3) (and attention to the final comments) F8 863 34

  26. SOME PLAYS FOR DISCUSSION:(Watch Video World Series 2009 nr 2)Time to comment the Infield Fly Rule and Out By Rule 8to protect runners against “Provoked” Double Plays“An infield fly is declared” [Obr 6.05 e)] and also “an infielder intentionally drops a fair fly ball or line drive, with first, first and second, first and third or first, second and third base occupied before two are out … APPROVED RULING: in this situation, the batter is not out if the infielder permits the ball to drop untouched to the ground, except when the Infield Fly rule applies”(Video 11: “The Cheating Chinese Chong”)

  27. * KS + CAUGHT STEALING:KS + CS … also possible with Triple Play!!(Video 12)

  28. DPs with OUT BY RULE (13-14): INTERFERENCE:Batter-runner called out because of interference by a preceding runner. Credit the putout to the first baseman. If the fielder interfered with was in the act of throwing the ball, credit him with an assist [OBR 10.09 c)In these cases, the Official Scorer shall not assume that the hitting would have been a Grounded Into Double Play, so no GDP for the batter.

  29. With fewer than two out and a runner on first base, the batter hits to the second baseman who catches the ball in time to score a double play. As he waits to assist the shortstop, who has gone to cover second base, he is knocked over by the runner. The umpire calls out both runners for interference. This is a double play, although no hit into double play is charged to the batter, since the action was not completed, and consequently there can be no certainty that a double play would in fact have occurred. “The official scorer should not charge a batter with grounding into a double play if the batter-runner is called out due to interference by a preceding runner” [OBR 10.02 a) 17) Comment]
