[edit] Wild Pitch v. Passed Ball

Is it fair to say that when a catcher fails to hang on to a strike, it will always be called a passed ball rather than a wild pitch? I've never seen a strike called a wild pitch, but I'm wondering if it is within the scorer's discretion to do so. --Cheapestcostavoider 16:12, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, if the pitcher threw a strike when the catcher was set up for a pitch out or intentional walk, I could see it being considered a wild pitch. Miraculouschaos 17:03, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
