Otherwise, why isn't this event scored as it should be? Or in any fashion at all?
When I score a game live I write PO to account for it. AFAIK that's the way it's always been done and I've scored games for 50+ years.

It's possible that OOTP may list PO as a note in the box score as they do for OF assists. I'll try to find one.

Baseball Reference counts pick offs (PO) and pick off caught stealing (POCS). See screenshot. They include that info in boxscores.
