Thank you for watching! If you are interested in learning more about scoring and how to use the Game changer app to keep score check out this video! kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6NlrK-LhM2_j9I.html Game changer is my favorite way to score as it both creates the scorebook and keeps stats for the team!

I just started scorekeeping for my school and this is really helpful!

This was so incredibly helpful, thank you! This is my first year coaching so this video was a perfect refresher on the basics of scorekeeping

My first assignment keeping score this weekend. Thanks for the education!

“MK” once again you Rock the score book tutorial 💖 Thank You for sharing ✌️Jesse

Thank you! This was very helpful.

Thanks for your detailed video!

Thanks for the quick rundown!

The scorebook shown here is designed for tiny kid leagues. When you advance beyond the age groups where every kid is in the batting lineup, there are much better books available. Keep in mind that in real baseball and softball, there is no reason to use a scorebook cluttered with 17 batting positions. Look for layouts printed in landscape orientation and space for 11 batting positions/10 innings. Also look for books that provide a comprehensive collection of tally columns. Be aware that accurate stats mean something. A good coach knows how to use cumulative stats to his/her advantage in making informed management decisions. Credible scorekeeping is essential at the high school level. Use travel ball and the younger leagues (where accuracy doesn't really matter) to develop your scorekeeping skill. What is shown in this video is a good bare-bones start to the process of learning how to keep score. 😀

Thanks for the help!

Great video, thank you very much.

Can you do a video on recording substitutions?

Great Video. This was very helpful.

Was hoping she was going to do it with both teams

Helpful video. Thank you. How do you indicate when a batter is hit with a pitch?

I usually just write HBP some where in the box instead of any of the other marks.

How do you indicate a pitching change? I have young softball players and they change pitchers frequently

What do you do if they bat around

What if someone catches a fly ball. Do you just put that position’s number without a dash to another number since they don’t throw it for an out ?

You would put F9 (if it was a fly ball caught by the right fielder)

what do u do if the team hits through the lineup and then goes to the next inning

Strike through the next inning and label the inning as the inning you’re in and label the other innings accordingly

If a player is up to bat and the coach from the opposite team chooses to walk him. Do you note it as a W(walk)?

The standard shorthand for this is IBB (intentional base on balls).

How do you document fielders' choice?

@ManagerKiley

You would put FC in the box and mark who was out in their own box

The batter reached on an FC (was not out), so "FC" goes on the batter's record. Record the assist/put-out on the player who was actually out and note "FC" there as well (ex: 6-4FC). This allows you to easily identify who reached base and who was put out on the play. Reaching on a fielder's choice goes against the batter's batting average.

At 5:29 What does the 2 after the K mean?

@ManagerKiley

2 жыл бұрын

That means it was the second out of the inning. The K is the strike out and the 2 shows it is the second out.

Kiley are you okay? Your voice is cracking bae😔💕just checking in x

What if the players do not play the same pose for the whole game?

you can just write in a note either in the comments area or write in the new positions and put a note of what inning they switched. Its up to you/ the team. Because many teams use the book for offensive plays more than defensive it is not a priority for many to note it.

Strike through the original position and note the new one. Keep in mind that tracking defensive rotations normally are unimportant except for pitching changes and situations involving the DP/Flex rule (softball). The Designated Player plays offense and the Flex Player plays defense, with the two players being associated with each other.

Wow this looks complicated for someone who has zero experience with baseball 😂
