my last question was phrased wrong....instead of saying "less than 2 outs" i meant 0 outs......(because obviously if theres 1 out the run wouldnt score period since its a grounder)

situation is 0 outs....runners on 1st and 3rd.....batter grounds into a double play.

now theres 2 outs and the runner on 3rd scored.....

does the batter get the RBI??????

please answer! thanks

No.

According to rule 10.04: "(b) The official scorer shall not credit a run batted in
(1) when the batter grounds into a force double play or a reverse-force double play"

No. Only if you trade an out for a run does the batter get an rbi. trading two outs for one run is not considered helpful and therefore not awarded an rbi.

Edit: Tee Double You is a moron. Dead ball refers to the time before 1920, so I doubt he remembers anything about the games back then.

That's true facts. Baby.

No, they used to, but the rule was changed and the batter no longer gets credit. I remember an All Star game in the sixties, in the dead ball era. The eventual winning run scored when Willie Mays hit into a double play. He got credit for the RBI and they named him the MVP. That's dead ball baby.

No, a batter is not awarded an RBI when he grounds into a double play. I he were to beat it out and it is a Feilders choice, he gets ann RBI, but a DP, no.

Someone caught your mistake and answered it correctly. It was toward the bottom...

It DOES NOT COUNT as an RBI for the batter.

the player who hit into the double play is NOT charged with an RBI.

nope, rule book says you can't get an RBI if you hit into a DP

yes it counts as an rbi because its runners batted in and since they batted and a runner scored, its an rbi.
