Today Miami vs. Duke, Miami third baseman had four errors in one inning. That has to be some kind of record. I did find that the NCAA record for errors in a single game is 7.
Maybe they don't keep the single inning error record stat.

But I bet he can hit bombs.

On Tuesday I watched 4 errors on consecutive plays by 3 very capable players in a HS game.
Once it gets in their head, forget about it!

Not an answer to your question, but we had an outfielder (LF) make four errors in a single game early in this high school season. I thought that was amazing, some OF's wouldn't have four in a year.
I was just posting in jest. There have been several discussions as of late that talk about defense vs. offense.many people believing that offensive wins out.
If Brooks Robinson can make three errors in an inning, I guess a college kid can be allowed four.

allowed? What, did Brooks have a little note from Earl Weaver that he handed the ump to give to the scorekeeper, or was it more like a pocketful of get out of errors free, cards?
I hope the kid can shake it off and focus on the next game.
I'm sure the kid will be all right. His errors let in two unearned runs, and later in the game he hit a 2 RBI double to bring his team within one run. Miami won it in the bottom of the ninth.
Miami is ranked #6, so this kid is obviously a great player.
I was just curious about the statistical side of it. Four errors by one player in one inning is so unusual that I had to wonder.
Two of them came on one play, where apparently (I was "watching" on gametracker) he bobbled the ball, causing the batter to reach first, then threw it wildly, so runner went to second. So that isn't much different than just making a single throwing error which allows the batter/runner to reach second. But they scored it as two errors.
Anyway, my intent certainly wasn't to bring any scorn down on this kid or to suggest anything about his ability - he is the starting 3rd baseman for Miami, for God's sake!
I just thought it was such an outlier that I wondered if it was an all-time record for errors in an inning.

Brooks had a get out of jail free card. It came in the mail with his get into hall of fame free card.quote:Originally posted by CPLZ:quote:Originally posted by RJM:

Four errors in one inning at 3B is quite unuaual but could happen. Now making four errors in LF is amazing assuming this is varsity level baseball. My son made one error all of last season in the OF
Speed of the game is MUCH faster in college ball
Obviously four errors could happen. It DID happen. I was just wondering if it is a record, or if they even keep such records at the NCAA. Does anyone know?
Bob Brenley made 4 errors in one inning playing the outfield in the Major Leagues. Willie Davis was one of the games best outfielders and he made three errors in one inning and it was in the 1966 World Series.
