Home to First Times
For each batted ball, in play, PBR Scouts were working to get accurate home to 1st times on the batter runner. The only times that are posted are those where the runner was competitive throughout his route to 1B and those where the batter runner ran a straight line to 1B. For plays where a batter runner may have arced or curved, as on a base hit looking to go to 2B, the home to 1st time was thrown out.
