If there is a runner on 1st and 3rd and you hit into a fielders choice do you get an RBI?

Answer 1

a double play is not a fielder's choice. the question asked about a fielder's choice (and implied that the runner on 3rd scored on the play)

i like Paula P's answer the best, only because the third out, in this case, could only be made at 2nd, thereby being a force out, so no runs can score.

Answer 2

Yes, but only if there is less than two outs and the fielder's choice does not involve a play at home plate...Everyone already answering has assumed this scenario, since you asked do you get an RBI?

For example I once saw Kirby Puckett bowl a catcher over and was called out, but as that catcher lay dazed and confused someone came around to score while the hitter got caught in a rundown between 1st and 2nd. No ribbie. Officially scored a FC. That's about the only way I can think of not getting an RBI.

Answer 3

Yes, you do.

It's covered under Rule 10.04, A, part 1:

a) The official scorer shall credit the batter with a run batted in for every run that scores
(1) unaided by an error and as part of a play begun by the batter's safe hit (including the batter’s home run), sacrifice bunt, sacrifice fly, infield out or fielder's choice

Answer 4

Yea, the RBI is erased if you get a double play, but a fielder's choice is ok.

Answer 5

Only if the runner on 3rd comes home and scores...you get 2 RBI's if the runner on 1st comes home...and those RBI's would only count if there was less then 2 outs if you got out.

Answer 6

Yes you do. It's an at bat and the run is still scoring due to your at bat. Even if you are out at first for the fielders choice.

Answer 7

Yes, as long as you don't hit into a double play!

Answer 8

Yes but if you ground into a double play its not.

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

yes
