June 11, 20179 yr This is why I don't like On Base Percentage. It fails to reflect the additional value of taking second after a walk on a sleeping defense. / My younger brother, like many Little Leaguers I'm sure, used to employ this play. One of his proudest youthful moments was during the playoffs when the opposing catcher shouted to his infield after he received ball 4, "watch out, he steals".

June 11, 20179 yr Earlier this morning I heard he got credit for a stolen base. Just to clarify, did the scorer change the ruling or was the report I read wrong?
