Brandon Fahey had one and I can't place what it is.. it's probably something I've heard of but can't remember right now.

I would guess that it is a pick-off, or rather being picked off.

I didn't know they would track that from the offensive player's standpoint.

you are correct it is in deed a pickoff.  in the batters standpoint its being picked off.  The gamecenter said pk (batters name) then a , and pitchers name with a 1 behind it.  I don't see what else it could be.  I was sitting here trying to think of some names for PK but I can't.

I Googled it ("pk" baseball statistic) and found,
(http://www.geocities.com/baseballtriviachallenge/basebal
lstats.html):

PK - Pickoffs

It was listed for fielding and pitching so my guess is that Fahey made the tag on someone wandering off 2nd base.

Whoops!

I take it back, it was Fahey picked off by Kennedy at 2nd (I didn't see the whole game).

But the apparently "official" symbols/abbreviations used by major league baseball, at its site, are:

PK - for the defensive players,
PO - for the offensive (picked-off) player

The official MLB game stats are here:
