Is a wild pitch an error?

Answer 1

No, a wild pitch is a wild pitch -- it is considered a mistake charged to the pitcher.

An "error" in Baseball is a fielding mistake. A pitcher can make an "error" but only on a batted or thrown ball.

Answer 2

Neither -- a hit batsman is a pitch thrown that hits the batter, even if the catcher immediately catches the ball after that contact.

A wild pitch is a pitch thrown so badly that the catcher is not able to catch it, but which does not hit the batter.

An "error" in baseball terminology has nothing to with pitching -- it is a fielding mistake. A pitcher can commit an error, but only on a batted or thrown ball.

Answer 3

No. only messed up plays by the fielders are errors.
