I've never seen it either, other than the DP variety. Maybe post a "can we get?" thread in the v24 forum?

I did try to do a search for real life numbers but could not find them based on Force Out at 3b, with 2 outs. What I did find is total force outs at 3b here..
https://www.baseball-reference.com/l...fielding.shtml
Hit the link, scroll down to "Team Advanced Fielding - 3B*" and you'll see the
"Frc" column under put outs.

In short in 2022 at 3b there were
3579 Total outs

2638 Caught in air outs

263 Force outs

678 Tag outs

That's 0.108 per game. Or 1 force out every 9-10 games in all possible scenarios. Maybe someone with a paid subscription to one of the stat keeping sites could get a breakdown for 2 outs where the force ended the inning? I wish I had the number so I could present it to Markus or Matt, but I don't and I can't seem to find a way to get it.

Having shown those small numbers doesn't mean I think it shouldn't be in the game. I do think it should. Maybe if someone can come up with the actual numbers and present them to Markus and Matt it would finally get done? I sure think with the info they would consider it.

If you do post in the v24 forum please feel free to cut and paste my response from here.
