Probably the rarest would be a 7-9 or something like that. Outfielders usually aren't on the second half of a double play, especially without a pickle.

If you are looking for something Rare, an unassisted double play by an outfielder would have to be it...I would also say that something that COULD happen might be an 8-1 DP where the outfielder catches the fly and rifles a man out at home being covered by the pitcher because the catcher was somewhere else...

It would have to be unassisted by an outfielder...any of the three. The only way I could see it happening is if he made a great running catch near first or second and then ran to the bag that hadn't been covered to double up a runner who left thinking the ball would drop. Highly unlikely and maybe its never happened, but to me that would be the absolute rarest form of the double play.

Two outfielders participating in a double play.
The only I could imagine it, is, runner on 2nd,batter hits a shallow fly ball to LF,CF comes into the infield to help,runner off 2nd takes off for 3rd, thinking the ball would drop, he gets caught in a rundown with the CF making the tag as the runner tries to get back to 2nd.
I've never seen t, i don't know if it happened,but if it ever did, i guarantee it has happened against the Phillies.

How about a 3-2-1 double play. That would be first base to catcher back to the pitcher covering first base with the bases loaded. I don't think there has ever been one turned like that. For more look at the attached.

Probably an outfielder to catcher double play when the runner has tagged up at third. The outfielder has to have a cannon to make that play work.

The rarest would probably be an unassisted DP ... like 2U DP ... catcher catches strike three and tags out a baserunner stealing home or something like that.

i do no longer understand if there is any checklist of that yet i could say it may must be 6-4-3 provided that maximum hitters are good exceeded and maximum tend to pull the ball. i could wager the opportunities to be close to to 50%.
