Passed ball
In baseball, a catcher is charged with a passed ball when he fails to hold or control a legally pitched ball which should have been held or controlled with ordinary effort, thereby permitting a runner or runners to advance or score. A runner who advances due to a passed ball is not credited with a stolen base unless he breaks before the pitch is delivered.
