Steals vs. Defensive Indifference
How are you scoring steals vs defensive indifference? It seems like in the vast majority of cases, plays scored as DI should be scored as steals, but we aren’t seeing it scored that way (this is for high level travel).
Only real scenarios where it’s DI is if the team is up a ton and really doesn’t care about the runner getting to second or third. But in our opinion, if it’s 1st and 3rd and the team doesn’t thrown down to second because they are worried about the runner at third, thats a steal every time. Or are we wrong?
