From the rule book inside


"FIELDER’S CHOICE is the act of a fielder who handles a fair grounder and, instead of throwing to first base to put out the batter-runner, throws to another base in an attempt to put out a preceding runner. The term is also used by scorers (a) to account for the advance of the batter-runner who takes one or more extra bases when the fielder who handles his safe hit attempts to put out a preceding runner; (b) to account for the advance of a runner (other than by stolen base or error) while a fielder is attempting to put out another runner; and (c) to account for the advance of a runner made solely because of the defensive team’s indifference (undefended steal)."

Is it A? That depends, does moving towards the guy on second count as attempting a put out? What if you just watch him? Feign a throw?

Is it C? Does the batter making it to first count as "advance of a runner"; noting that earlier they referred to the batter as the batter-runner?

  Why isn't it C? I would call that indifference ** -- public knowledge 01/26/2017 07:32AM
  Aah - C clearly says runner, not batter. So it is a hit. ** -- public knowledge 01/26/2017 07:36AM
