Also, plays made on the baserunners (including the batter as a baserunner) will be indicated in parentheses after the baserunner's name.

For example, advancement for a walk will not be given, but for a single or double it will be given.

Pitch-by-pitch data should not be taken as completely accurate, though we believe it to be as accurate as is currently possible.
