Baserunner Standing Still During Pickoff

[Mephiskapheles]

I just had this happen two games in a row. The CPU throws to first and the runner stands there, making no attempt to move. Has this happened to anyone? Is it a glitch? I’m on auto baserunning and don’t manually steal, if that matters.

Happened to me.

Brock Holt on first, I did not lead him off, did not give him the steal sign, I just watched the pitcher throw over, and the first baseman tag him out.f

Only happened once, but I am on the lookout for why it happened, and if there is something I did that triggered it.

Do you remember if the opposing pitcher was a lefty? Maybe he had a really high pick-off move rating, and the baserunner was caught napping on a snap throw?

I do not remember who was pitching against me, but maybe you can remember?

Both righties, degrom and syndergaard. It was definitely not a usual caught napping play. He literally is frozen even as he’s tagged out.

Happened to me on a few occasions

Happens to me a lot, even with good base stealers. I basically don’t even take leads anymore off first unless it’s Trea Turner

This happens to me all the time. Literally every 5th time they throw over, I get picked off. Most the time, I’m not leading either.

I read somewhere to maybe hit r1 to get runner to dive back? The issue is that often times I have no idea until it’s too late haha.
