A batter gets a hit and later scores on a fielders choice is the run earned or unearned?
Earned. Unearned runs only apply to cases where an error allows a runner to score where they otherwise would not have.
If a player is hit by the pitch and later scores is the run earned or unearned?
Depends on what happened in the inning prior to and after the batter is hit. Assuming that no errors or passed balls occur, the run will be scored an earned run. If the inning is extended by an error, or the runner scores because of an error or passed ball, the run would be unearned.
Runner on third scores on a passed ball is the run earned or unearned?
it's a unearned run and the error would go to the pitcher if it's a wild pitch or the catcher if it's a past ball. This isn't necessarily true. The official scorekeeper will then see how the rest of the inning plays out. If the hitter ends up getting a single then is still charged as an earned run. If there were 0 outs to start, then the 3rd hitter up could get a hit that would have driven the run in and it's still an earned run, else it's unearned.
Is it a earned run if a batter swings and misses a wild pitch on a third strike and he later scores?
If the batter reaches base as the result of a Wild Pitch, and he later scores, it would be an Earned Run. However, if he reaches base as the result of a Passed Ball, and he later scores, it would be an Unearned Run.
Is the run unearned if a base runner scores on an error?
Depends. Say the guy is on 2nd, and the batter hits a single to the left fielder. The left fielder bobbles the ball, and the guy scores from 2nd base while the batter makes it to 2nd on the bobble. If the official scorer thinks that had the bobble not been made that the original baserunner would not have scored, then the run is unearned. However, if he thinks that the guy would have scored anyway, even without the error, then it is earned. Basically, a run is unearned if, in the opinion of the official scorer, it would not have been scored had the play been made cleanly.
If a walk is not counted as an at bat even though a rbi may be awarded is it counted as an earned run in figuring a pitchers era if that runner scores?
Yes because it was that pitcher's fault for letting him get on base in the 1st place. Yes, runs that score because of walks are still earned. Errors are the only things that factor into whether runs are earned or unearned.
If the first hitter gets on base because of feilding error and scores is it an unearned run?
Yes. Also, after the defense records two outs, all other runs that may score are unearned.
What are two ways to get an earned run?
Earned runs are any runs scored without an error being committed to let them cross the plate, or , get on base in the first place and before three outs would have occurred had there not been any errors. It may be easier to say that an unearned run is one that would not have scored except for errors and then say an earned run is one that is not unearned.
Is it an earned run when a runner scores on a strikeout?
Yes
Does base on balls count as a earned run?
Under most circumstances, this would be an earned run, provided he eventually scores. However, there are a few cases where it would not be an earned run. One example would be if the inning is extended by an error, no runs scored after that error are earned.
What is an un-earned run?
The only way a runner can reach on a passed ball is if he strikes out, and the 3rd strike gets away from the catcher. Since the batter struck out, he should not have reached based, although no errors are charged the run if he later scores is an unearned run See MLB Rule 10.18 Earned Runs. No earned run if batter reaches on passed ball. A wild pitch is the pitcher's fault and contributes to the earned run.
If a pitcher records two out then the following batter reachs on an error then the batting team scores a run is that considered a earned run?
A batter that reaches base due to an error and later scores is not counted as an earned run.
