Agreed. Also depends on the OF arm and the runner speed, and of course the game situation. Even with less than two outs, I would give the green light to a fast runner; unless the OF has a strong arm. Average runner and average arm is a toss-up, probably not in a close game with less than two outs. The game really does give the runner an advantage with two outs - as it should.

I’ve learned the hard way to disregard what I see on the screen as far as how deep the OF is when he picks up the ball. That result is determined by the text, and the graphic may or may not coincide with that. So if the narrative says “ground ball into the gap” but you are watching the OF chase a ball deep in CF, disregard the latter and pay attention to the former.
