Does this scenario count for WAR? And how do you determine it?
Batter walks.
Passed ball, or Wild Pitch, runners goes to 2nd.
Batter up grounds to 2nd base, runner advances to 3rd. 1 Out.
Infield back, ground ball to 2nd base, runner scores, batter Out. (Does he get credit for being smart situational hitter, seeing infield back, and all it takes is a ground Out to score a Run)?
Score 1-0.
No hits, no errors, just a walk.
After 9 innings team wins 1-0.
The word Win is there. WAR is Wins Above Replacement.
Everybody makes outs. In the game of baseball, Outs wins games, Productive Outs, Helps win games.
So confused here.
Does WAR take into account Outs? Totally unproductive in the Box Score, but during game, it helped win a game.
