Do you score this as a hit?

Question

If there is a runner on 1st and i hit a grounder and reach first base because of a force out on 2nd base. Do i get credit for a hit. I think that would be called reaching base on a fielders choice, but am would i be 1 for 1 at the plate or am I 0 for 1.

Answer 1

you do not get credited with a hit because your team still gets an out, so you are 0/1, but if if some did score one the play you will get a RBI and you go 0/0 with no official bat

Answer 2

No, that happened a few times when I played little league.  Sorry but 0 for 1.

Answer 3

You would get credited with a fielders choice and go 0 for 1. Its because the fielders probably could of gotten you out(not all the time tho) but decided to be smart and go to 2nd instead.

Answer 4

No, you are credited with a Fielder's Choice. But you still go 0-1 if that happens. So no hit  for you

Answer 5

You would 0 for 1, as the previous posters said. However, your OBA would not improve as a result of reaching base.

EDIT: Danny, even if the batter had driven in a run, he's still 0 for 1.

Answer 6

This is definitely a Fielder's Choice, and you are 0-1.  Just to clear things further, even if they tried to get the runner out at second and did not succeed, it would still be judged as a fielder's choice.  

Answer 7

You don't get a hit and your average actually goes down. Its a fielders choice, meaning they cant get the double play so they rather get the man at second out. Your 0 for 1.

Answer 8

it is a fielders choice cause they only got 1 base runner out so you are 0-1

Answer 9

If any runner is put out on a force play (which includes a runner who is tagged before reaching a base that they are forced to advance to), then it is scored as a fielder's choice just as you thought.

A fielder's choice does not count as a hit, nor does it count as on-base, so you would be 0-1. A fielder's choice hurts both your batting average and your on-base percentage the same way as when you get out.
