With two outs batter reaches base on an error next batter clean hit next batter hits home run how many runs are earned and why?
None of the runs are earned. The batter who would have been the third out of the inning reached on an error, so any runs that score in that inning after the error was made are unearned.
Are runs scored after a two out error earned or unearned?
Generally, any run, or runs' that score after an error occurs after two outs that would result in the third out of the inning, is an earned run. This is not necessarily true if the error that occured would not have resulted in the third out, i. e., a hit to the outfield, and the outfielder boots the ball and allows the hitter to advance another base, but the run would score even without the error, that run would be earned. As would all subsequent runs. In this, or similar situations, the scorer actually replays the inning without the error to determine which runs are earned.
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.
Does a runner score from third base if bases are loaded and there is a catcher interference call?
If the batter who reached by via catcher's interference scores, his run would be unearned, however, it cannot be determined if any runner on base scored due to catcher's interference is earned or unearned until the inning is played out and recreated without the interference or any error that may have occurred.
If an error is committed in the inning and the run scores later in the inning is it an unearned run?
Not necessarily. Simply add up any combination of outs and errors totaling three. Any runs scoring after that point would be unearned runs. Above is true to an extent: The scorer usually determines whether the run would have scored even without the error. (Ex. Runner on second - pickoff attempt by catcher goes into centre field. Runner advances to 3rd and catcher is charged with an error. Next pitch is hit for a double. Scorer notes that runner would have scored from 2nd regardless of the error and the run is earned) In the case of a runner reaching base due to an error, then the run is unearned if he comes in to score as he should not have been on base in the first place. If the second baseman commits an error on the leadoff batter allowing him to reach 1st and the very next batter hits a homerun, it is 1 earned and 1 unearned run, and there are still 0 outs.
What is the ERA in baseball?
ERA is an acronym for "earned run average." It's a measure of how many runs a pitcher would theoretically allow if he pitched a full nine inning game. Only runs given up as a result of the pitcher's actions count as "earned." For example, if there are two outs, and a fielder makes a throwing error, allowing a run to score, that run would be unearned. However, if the pitcher made the error, the runs would count against his ERA.
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.
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.
Bases loaded 1 out in the bottom of the 10th and Pop up to catcher in foul territory is dropped and Error is charged The next pitch is a grand slam Game is instantly over How many runs are unearned?
Any ball dropped in Foul Territory is automatically a dead ball and considered foul. You cannot commit an error on a foul ball. 0 runs are unearned, unless of course errors allowed the other 3 baserunners on. I asked the above question, and I'd prefer if someone who actually knew the rules would tell me the answer, rather than to give their opinion which is wrong. A dropped foul ball is an error. I've seen it before with a home run happening afterwards. That's an unearned run. Usually the scorekeeper will see how the rest of the inning would have played out if the error didn't occur. Since the game ends, he doesn't get to do that. 1 run is unearned for sure.
Is a run scored on a wild pitch is it an earned run?
A wild pitch is considered part of pitching, and therefore a wild pitch contributing to a run does not make that run unearned. Had the runner advanced on a passed ball, or on an error on the pitcher, the run would be unearned, assuming that the run would not have scored anyway had the inning played out the way it did (this sometimes involves a judgment call by the official scorer). For example, if the runner reached second on a passed ball, scored on a single, and there were no further hits in the inning, the run would be unearned. However if after reaching second on the passed ball there were a pair of singles, or an extra base hit, the run probably would be scored as an earned run.
