I think having the scorekeeper start handing out "mental errors" would lead down a road that would not be worth traveling.

Sounds like your objection to WP is the use of the word "wild".

OBR says, "A WILD PITCH is one so high, so low, or so wide of the plate that it cannot be handled with ordinary effort by the catcher."

While "wild" maybe makes it sound like the ball is sailing over the backstop, I wouldn't count on seeing any changes in the current usage.

And if your thought is to charge the catcher with a PB in the scenario you described, I think you'll have a tough time getting too many sympathetic ears on that one as well.

But ... you do raise something to think about. Because there are a number of grey-area situations where no scoring designation seems to quite fit it perfectly.

Thanks.
