Topic seems to be expanding to all types of base running but for a moment let's go back to the original "out trying to stretch a single to a double" and maybe include stretching to third or home. Shouldn't we be looking at OF assists per base? Sure these aren't limited to "stretching" but also include attempts to advance on a flyball but still they are real life outs per base by OF position.
OF assists, 2019 stats I found at B-R...
https://www.baseball-reference.com/l...fielding.shtml
Code:
RF CF LF Total Per game
1B 28 8 11 47 .0096
2B 112 78 96 286 .0588
3b 52 53 42 147 .0302
H 73 65 83 221 .0454
Total 701 .1442
B-R defines these throws as "assists where the ball was thrown to 2b as the result of a ball in play" or of course which ever base is applicable
That would be 9.52 outs at 2b per 162 games from OF assist. Approx 1 every 17 games.
Not sure how that compares to my OOTP season but I can see where it would be easy to have a long stretch of games not seeing one. You could go 34 and then get 2 in the next 5 and not see another for a month of games.
Anyway some real life 2019 numbers to consider
