Sometimes switching to pitch-by-pitch mode when I'm going to use some extra strategy, trying to steal for example.
So, yes, this was pitch-by-pitch mode, and I sat through all 5 throws to first.

I know I have seen unsuccessful throws to first base by the catcher. I'm pretty sure some of those were in one-pitch mode.

I'm about to start a spring training, and I play out all my games, so, I'll try to remember to keep an eye out for unsuccessful pickoffs.
Yes, I agree, as I mentioned previously, that you will see unsuccessful pickoff attempts made by catchers in one-pitch mode. I have certainly seem some quite recently.
I am racking my brain to think of whether I have seen unsuccessful (but not leading to an error) pickoff attempts by opposing pitchers in one-pitch mode. I can't be sure, but I'm fairly confident that the answer is no.
