As an actual official scorer, some of these are so bad. I would have scored the following plays as errors: Michael Taylor, Dylan Carlson, Avisail Garcia, Mauricio Dubon, and Keon Broxton. The reason most of them aren't errors is because the rulebook specifically states you can't give an error for a bad route to a ball or a mental mistake. Only physical misplays on balls where the fielder did not need to make anything more than normal effort to complete the play. The ones I listed above, in my opinion, are ones where the fielders were firmly in place to make the play, and then missed it. I'm shocked those ones above weren't called errors.
@@FoolishBailey I think that one would be pretty straight-forward as a hit for most official scorers. It is a sinking line drive where Teoscar leaves his feet. One could argue that he didn't need to leave his feet in the first place, but fielders kinda get bailed out by their own bad decisions on plays like that. Virtually no official scorer will score an error when the fielder dives towards the ground in any way.
@@kleshreen sounds like it is more of a problem with the rule book than the official scorers. It would be interesting to see some team's proprietary fielding numbers and how they differ from some public fielding stats.
@@kleshreen So the Ozuna one isn't an error because he just managed to misread it badly enough to not be close to making a play on it? Kinda wild to think about.
@@Falllll yea that one is no different than a guy taking a banana route to a flyball and it goes over his head when a straight route would have gotten it. Theoretically, an outfielder could just stand there while a flyball lands at his feet and he just refuses to pick it up, and it would be an inside the park home run instead of an error.
@@noahwright8109 Oh I get that, but there are times where a guy makes a diving play or makes some crazy effort, doesn't make the catch, and gets hit with an error, and you just sit and scratch your head!
That’s why errors are stupid, but by the rules they made 100 years back, it’s deemed an error. Very stupid, but it’s the rules. They should def alter the way errors are scored
@@lmSloth10 Sure, but there really isn't any exact way that makes sense to base it on. Unless you want to get rid of errors all together which doesn't really make sense either
@@ihaveskillissue69 it's not a dumb question at all, just because it's focus only on error. And good fielder are more likely to make errors, sometimes they will be able to get to ball averages fielder cannot get to and they will struggle to field it cause they will be at the end of a very fast run. Watch the video baseball bit about Andreton Simmons it summons up advanced defensive stats
@@ihaveskillissue69 Fielding percentage is essentially (number of outs you got)/ (your outs + your errors). So it's supposed to represent the percentage of the time you get the out and don't mess up. But errors are normally only given to a player when they get to the ball and then drop it. But better fielders are faster and get to more of the balls. So often a better fielder will run really fast and get close to a ball and then dive for it or something and miss it (being given a error), whereas a worse fielder won't even get anywhere near the ball an won't be given an error. Sure, getting lots of errors isn't great, but getting no errors doesn't necessarily mean you're good. It might just mean that you are slow as shit or don't try very hard to make difficult plays. Another related concept is that the players with a ton of spectacular catches or throws often aren't the best defenders (think Derek Jeter), because better defenders can get to those balls easily and make them look easy and routine, but a worse defender has to struggle and make amazing dives or throws to get the out.
As someone who has been an official scorer in professional baseball for 21 years, I cannot agree more with this comment. Gotta be a dozen times a year when I say something like "A lot went wrong, but there's no error." The rule preventing an error on the second half of a double-play attempt also makes the fielding average misleading, but there's another less-discussed play that effectively does the same thing to the stat sheet. e.g. one out, runner on first, ground ball goes directly to the second baseman, who bobbles the ball. By the time he recovers, his only play is to first. Fine: on the stat sheet, 4-3, runner advances, no error. But in the real world, that should have been an inning-ending double play. Then the offense proceeds to score five more runs before the third out is retired. Assuming there is no other error in that inning, those runs will be earned to the pitcher - yet they should never have happened. As for this video, the Taylor play at 0:57 and the Garcia play at 2:03 are probably the closest OS calls of the bunch. I would guess he/she talked that over a few times before scoring a hit. I lean toward hit on Taylor's because he ultimately has to lunge for it at the very end. Ugly, but still a hit. I'd probably charge an E on Garcia's at first sight, then would need someone to talk me out of it. He has to stretch a little, but not THAT much. Even on multiple replays here, I lean E8. The quality of the route or the fielder's speed also works the other way: sometimes a player puts himself in position to make an error that a lesser fielder might not have. I had that a few years ago with an outfielder named Corey Wimberly. Speedy as hell. He sprinted to his right, got underneath it, then watched as the ball popped out of his glove like something from a Charlie Brown cartoon. And I thought to myself, anyone else would have still been on the run and some would have to really stretch just to touch it. But for him, given his speed, "ordinary effort" simply meant closing his glove. So an error can sometimes penalize the BETTER fielder. Finally, I've often said there should have been a rule written 100-plus years ago that allows the OS to give the error to the team. So often there's a play where no one person can be charged, so neither gets charged, and it goes in as a hit. We've all seen this. Players converge, no one calls it, they all ponder as the ball lands in the middle of the group. Had anyone one person called it off, it's any easy out. Definitely a mental error by the fielder who should be calling off such a ball, but the rules specifically instruct the OS not to charge an error for a mental error if it doesn't also include a mechanical misplay. Thus, no E, a cheap hit for the batter, and the fielding percentage remains unblemished.
Playing outfield the hard hit line drives that are hit directly at you are the hardest balls to read. It really helps when they are a little to your side so you can gauge the angle better
Straight-line depth perception at distance is really tough! Maybe the outfielders should do that thing owls do and bob their heads around. I'd certainly find that entertaining.
How was the Michael A Taylor one not an error? The ball literally bounced off his glove. Or any of the others that hit the glove. Especially the Teoscar one.
It feel like, in many cases, they aren’t so much trying to figure out if a fielder screwed up but rather, if the batter deserves a hit. A hard hit ball…sure, the fielder shoulda got that, but it really *looks* like the batter muscled the ball past, right? I think the scorers tend to call these things in favor of the hitter. Come to think of it, this probably is a point against batting average as well.
A ball hitting the glove does not necessarily constitute an error just as a ball NOT hitting the glove does not necessarily result in a hit. The standard is "ordinary effort," with some caveats to go with that. For example, mental errors - even things like throwing to the wrong base - are specifically cited as non-errors unless there is some kind of actual physical misplay that goes with it. As Brendan said above, a player could dive for a ball and give a glove on it. His dive would be well beyond ordinary effort. So even though the ball hits the glove, this would likely be scored as a base hit. On the other hand, an outfielder could camp underneath a can of corn and have the ball miss his glove and land next to his toes. He didn't touch it, yet that will very likely go in as an error (unless another factor, like being blinded by the sun, deems a catch as going beyond ordinary effort).
@@GhostOfLorelei The hardest calls for an OS are when you feel like you're either giving a tough error to a fielder or a cheap hit to the batter. Still, the batter "deserving a hit" doesn't play much in a scorer's decision. After all, there are plenty of times when a "deserved hit" is simply an out (e.g. Vic Wertz vs. Willie Mays).
@@fries5849 it matters to a certain extent, but is so incredibly flawed. There are better peripherals that are better at reflecting a pitcher’s performance
@@fries5849 no it literally doesn't. it obviously correlates with good pitching but it depends way too much on factors pitchers can't control - ie team fielding & inherited runners scoring. there are so many better metrics for pitchers

Right, but he was inside the park, *and* he happened to have hit a home run. Which was a bit surprising. I'd have expected him inside the park _without_ a home run.
Sometimes a ball hit off a bat on a line is still rising so when you see an outfielder freeze and wait and it goes over their head you can most likely assume that’s what happened
now do one that's "great outfielders getting charged with an error even though their elite range was the only reason they had a play on it in the first place"
That Eloy Jimenez one is an all timer. There’s so much going on. The way Jimenez casually strolls over to the ball only to miss his outstretched glove by an inch, the way he falls into the netting like it’s a hammock, how Yelich, who just came back from a major back injury, scores an INSIDE THE PARK HOME RUN

Every time I watch an outfielder take a "creative" route to the ball, I like to say that he "Aoki'd it." Anyone who has ever watched Nori Aoki play defense knows exactly why I say that.
There's more room for error in the OF, given the amount of ground you have to cover and how the ball travels in the air. Some guys in the OF are there because the shift makes it easier and because they get squeezed out of the IF, but their bat still has more upside than the defence.
That first one should get someone permanently DFA’d. Bad route THEN tumble into the stands THEN jog to retrieve the ball, allowing a routine fly ball to go for a HR.
This video is an excellent example as to why ERA can be an unreliable stat. All of those balls were scored as hits, and many of those base runners probably came around to score. Since they’re not ruled errors (which is a judgement call made by a park employee with implicit bias) these defensive miscues will not be reflected in box score thus unfairly raising a pitcher’s ERA.

If I was an A’s fan I would be so pissed at Grossman. He let a ball drop with two outs in the bottom of the ninth with a man on second. All of these were bad non errors but that was the only to lose the game
And of course, Joe Davis has the best call out of all the plays
Now there IS an error in this video: Ozuna himself.
Bailey, how can I learn to rock a beanie like you?
How was that Nats RF that just starred at the ball after he missed it? I can’t imagine what his manager had to say
Who*
Adam eaton. His CF was right there for backup, but ya not a good look.
so this is what some of my mlb power pros defense would look like in real life
Osuna really said monke
Andrew Varga type beat
