Saw this in a spring training game and couldn't figure out how to score it.

Runner on 1st.
Pitcher throws a ball wide and in the dirt. Catcher blocks it. Meanwhile, runner heads to second (wasn't going with the pitch). Catcher makes a perfect throw to second, has the runner by more than a step, but fielder muffs it and runner is safe.

Is it a stolen base? Does the catcher get dinged on his throw out percentage? Or did the runner advance on an error on the infielder? Or something else I'm not thinking of?

Really had to be there, but by the sounds of it, I would say that this was an error on the fielder for dropping the ball.

Fielder does get an error. In addition, the catcher gets an assist, and the runner gets a caught-stealing

Thanks, that makes sense. It was clearly an error on the fielder, I just didn't know how it would be scored for the catcher and baserunner.

Totally agree, caught stealing, error on the SS or 2B, catcher gets assist.
