Because the game only simulates wild pitches\pb, it does not simulate balls that get away without advancement. It can't be a wp\pb if a runner is thrown out or if no runner advances.

Of course it would be nice if the game did simulate errant balls without advancement or runners being out trying. I would love the excitement of seeing the ball get away from the C and a runner trying to advance not knowing if he would make it.

Not sure if developers consider this not worth the coding time or if there are not real world stats to base it on? In today's world it may well be that baseball reference has the stats, I just haven't looked so don't know.

Hopefully added someday.
