So my real life observation is that it is a rare play IRL and my guess is OOTP probably has it right or close to right.
Not saying you're wrong and my observation is definitely based on feel.  If you do have research showing real life numbers it would be interesting to see. |
Based on feel, but I watch every Pirate game during the season, and off the top of my head I can think of 8 games this year where a Pirate was thrown out at second trying to stretch into a double, and 1 of those games they were thrown out twice. I can also think of 4 games off the top of my head where the Pirates threw out a runner trying to stretch it into a double. I do not remember those as much as the Pirates getting thrown out, however I do remember Jose Osuna thrown 3 guys out in the same game. That was not this year, may have been last year or the year before.
