Strange Fly Out

[RockRocks787]

I actually have two questions.

First, a shallow fly ball was hit to left field. Both the shortstop and left fielder went after the ball. The shortstop took charge and got under the ball, but when the ball hit his glove, it popped out. Somehow it ended up on his back, where the left fielder picked it up for the out.

I'm assuming this is a 6-7 Flyout.

My second question is what do you call a soft hit ball that initially lands just in front of an infielder? If you put a popup or a line drive, will it give the assist and the putout to the correct person. I just wanna be certain that iscore doesn't automatically assume that the person it's hit to makes the catch when you input a popup, fly ball, or line drive.

6-7 flyout is correct.

I enter those as a groundout for out type, but mark it as a soft popup for hit chart.

great post red rocks!!

and of course mark is dead one.

to add some clarity for others reading. ..

you want to call it a ground out not a fly/pop out exactly for why you described so assists and put outs are accurate.

If you chose out type fly/pop up, tap player, you get a put out,
if you chose out type, ground out, tap 6-7, you get 6 assist, and 7 put out.

the type of hit hard/medium/soft, ground, line drive, pop can be used to show pop out on hit chart

I finally decided to test the play on my iphone. I marked a pop up that drops just in front of the shortstop. I scored the out as a 6-3. iScore correctly gave the assist to the SS and the putout to the 1B.

I'm figuring that if I were to mark this play as a ground ball, this may make some other stats inaccurate, such as GDP.

the GDP wont get tagged unless you mark it as a double play.

Again, I think either works, but to me, I think of a ball that hits the ground and requires a throw across for the out as a Ground Out, regardless of the flight of the ball.

On the hit charts, you can enter exactly how the ball was hit (soft popup).

Yeah but what about a soft popup that drops in front of an infielder? If it were to result in a double play, and I marked it as a ground ball, iScore would mark it as a GDP even though it wasn't a ground ball.

[mprusak]

I think that would be a GDP, would it not?

For scoring purposes, if it hits the ground and results in an out, then it is a "groundout".

E.g. in my DD's softball game last night we had the same play happen twice. The batter hit a hard line drive to right field, the RF was playing shallow, fielded the ball on one hop, and threw the batter-runner out at first.

pressed Out, Groundout, on hit chart selected Hard, LineDrive, on play chart selected 9 - 3
and RF got an assist and 1B the PO
