Hi,

Apologies if this is a basic question, but I've just started scoring and I'm not quite sure.

The runners on 1st and 2nd attempt a double-steal. The catcher throws to 3rd and the runner is save. Do both runners receive credit for a stolen base? Or is it scored a stolen base only for the runner the catcher attempted to throw out, and an "on the throw" advancement for the other runner? Thanks.

Both get credit for sb.

I've always used "On the throw" (and have seen it used) as a type of FC in cases where an advance was solely because of a throw to get another batter out. For instance, runner on 2nd and batter hits a single. Runner from 2nd rounds 3rd and heads home drawing a throw. Batter makes it to second only because of the throw to the plate.

That is correct use of "On the Throw".

However, in the scenario that the OP asked about, both runners get a SB.
