Article title[edit]

MLB seems to prefer "putout", perhaps this should be changed.... Dze27

Major League Baseball indeed refers to this as a "putout" in the official rules. ESPN does too. This page should be moved. -- Minesweeper 09:20, Oct 17, 2003 (UTC)

What happens if the 3rd strike is not caught and 1st base is occupied? The rules clearly specify that the batter is out immediately in this case (without any need to tag the batter or first base) but who gets the putout? The catcher didn't do anything, so I would assume the pitcher? Tzadik 22:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

And who gets the putout for "abandoning the base" ? Presumably the nearest defensive player -- is this correct? roricka 6 July 2011 —Preceding undated comment added 16:06, 9 July 2011 (UTC).

Does every out result in a putout for someone?[edit]

What about, say, when the infield fly rule is called, but the fielder who supposedly could easily catch the ball, fails to do so?

If every out results in a putout, that should be stated (if sourceable); if not, then the exceptions might also be of interest. --Trovatore (talk) 03:19, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Single season records section[edit]

The article has a basic error in its structure. Career high putouts is listed under the All-time single season records heading. A separate section for career stats should be created. 66.134.81.237 (talk) 17:32, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Speaking of single-season putout records, why are almost all of them in baseball's early days? What has changed in the game to cause that? Globe199 (talk) 16:37, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
