Defensive Indifference is a play in the later stages of a game in which the defensive team, either ahead or behind by a large amount allows a player to advance a base without any attempt to force the runner out. The play may be ruled, by the official scorer, defensive indifference.
In the case of defensive indifference, the runner is not awarded a stolen base in the official box score.
