From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In baseball statistics, a putout (denoted by PO or fly ball when appropriate) is given to a defensive player who records an out by one of the following methods:

• tagging a runner with the ball when they are not touching a base
• catching a batted or thrown ball and tagging a base to put out a batter or runner
• catching a thrown ball and tagging a base to record an out on an appeal play
• catching a third strike
• catching a batted ball on the fly
• being positioned closest to a runner called out for interference
