024 learn how and when to remove this message an error that allows a batter to reach first base does not count as a hit but still counts as an at bat for the batter unless in the scorer s judgment the batter would have reached first base safely but one or more of the additional bases reached was the result of the fielder s mistake in that case the play will be scored both as a hit for the number of bases the fielders should have limited the batter to and an error however if a batter is judged to have reached base solely because of a fielder s mistake it is scored as a reach on error roe and treated the same as if the batter had been put out hence lowering his batting average 3 similarly a batter does not receive credit for a run batted in rbi when runs score on an error unless the scorer rules that a run would have scored even if the fielder had not made a mistake for example if a batter hits a ball to the outfield for what should be a sacrifice fly and the outfielder drops the ball for an error the batter will still receive credit for the sacrifice fly and the run batted in 4 if a play should have resulted in a fielder s choice with a runner being put out and the batter reaching base safely but the runner is safe due to an error the play will be scored as a fielder s choice with no hit being awarded to the batter and an error charged against the fielder passed balls and wild pitches are separate statistical categories and are not scored as errors if a batted ball were hit on the fly into foul territory with the batting team having no runners on base and a fielder misplayed such ball for an error it is possible for a team on the winning side of a perfect game to commit at least one error yet still qualify as a perfect game there is a curious loophole in the rules on errors for catchers if a catcher makes a wild throw in an attempt to prevent a stolen base and the runner is safe the catcher is not charged with an error even if it could be argued that the runner would have been put out with ordinary effort there is therefore a no fault condition for the catcher attempting to prevent a steal however when considering that the majority of stolen base attempts are successful around 2 successes per failure this no fault rule is understandable due to the difficulty of throwing out runners if the runner takes an additional base due to the wild throw an error is charged for that advance the other scenario where catchers may be given an error unrelated to fielding a ball in play is catcher s interference when the catcher s glove is hit by the bat during the swing the catcher is not given an error in that scenario if the batter gets a hit off the play if a run scores by the end of the inning that would not have scored in the absence of the error the run is categorized as unearned meaning that it is not treated in the statistics as having been the responsibility of the pitcher 1 statistical significance edit kevin youkilis played 1 094 innings at first base during the 2007 season without committing an error traditionally the number of errors was a statistic used to quantify the skill of a fielder research has shown that the error rate is higher when the quality of fielding is suspect e g the performance of an expansion team in its first year or the fielding done by replacement players during world war ii and is lower when playing conditions are better e g on artificial turf and during night games 5 however fans and analysts have questioned the usefulness and significance of errors as a metric for fielding skill notably mental misjudgments such as failure to cover a base or attempting a force out when such a play is not available are not considered errors a more subtle though more significant objection to the error as sabermetricians have noted is more conceptual in order for a fielder to be charged with an error he must have done something right by being in the correct place to be able to attempt the play a poor fielder may avoid many errors simply by being unable to reach batted or thrown balls that a better fielder could successfully reach thus it is possible that a poor fielder will have fewer errors than any fielder with higher expectancies 6 in recent times official scorers have made some attempt to take a fielder s supposed extraordinary effort or positioning into account when judging whether the play should have been successful given ordinary effort however this still leaves statistics such as fielding percentage that are based on errors as a way to compare the defensive abilities of players errors also hold significance in calculating the earned run average era of a pitcher runs scored due to an error are unearned and do not count toward a pitcher s era statistical records for errors edit in major league baseball mlb herman long holds the record with 1 096 career errors he played from 1889 to 1904 7 bill dahlen deacon white and germany smith are the only other players to
