			Here is the distribution of Error types at 1B since 1920.  I do not think the game currently has any issue here.  We should only be getting a couple missed throws per season by 1Bmen in the game.
 
 From BBR I have a breakdown of 1B Errors as Errors on Catches, Errors from Fielding, and Errors on Throws.
 
 
 1920-1945 1B
 
 Catch: 24.8%
 Field: 53.6%
 Throw: 21.6%
 
 
 
 1946-1976 1B
 
 Catch: 15.5%
 Field: 74.3%
 Throw: 10.2%
 
 
 
 1977-1997 1B
 
 Catch: 16.0%
 Field: 69.9%
 Throw: 14.1%
 
 
 
 1998-2023 1B
 
 Catch: 21.2%
 Field: 56.9%
 Throw: 21.9%
 
 
 
 Since 1977, errors on catches (receiving a throw at 1B from another infielder) account for 18.7% of all 1B Errors.
 
 
 In 2023 the average team made 7 Errors at 1B. 7 * 0.187 = 1.3
 
 We should only be seeing like 1 or 2 errors per season per team by 1Bmen on catches receiving a throw.
