I would like to know a couple of things.

1) How can I find out how many outfield assists each of my outfielders have?

2) Are they indicated in the box score so I can determine the impact the assist had on the game?

Thanks,
Frostbite

In the mystery card games you cannot tell which OF got an assist. Check out this play-by-play from an 80's game. Strawberry doubled and Mike Schmidt was thrown out at the plate. We have no idea which OF threw him out.

*** BOTTOM OF INNING 3 ***
0 K.Phelps 3 Fly Out b-0
1 A.Trammell 5 Single b-1
1 1 M.Schmidt 3 Single 1-2 b-1

Below is from a 2007 game. Randy Johnson flew out to CF, Laird scored from 3rd but Hector Luna was thrown out at 3B by the CF.

TSN does not keep track of individual assist stats. They do compile the number of team assists in the team fielding stats.

Thanks LMBombers.
