In my previous post, I discussed the Runs Assisted statistic which rewards players who contribute to runs scored for their team without actually scoring or driving in a run. To review, there are two broad scenarios in which a player can get credit for a Run Assisted:
- A batter advances a runner to either second or third with a hit, base on balls, hit batsmen, error, sacrifice bunt, or another kind of out.
