If CF, RF, and 2B are all converging on the ball, I consider it to be a popout, regardless of who catches it. I also distinguish flyouts and popouts based on where the ball was fielded. I like to mark these specifically on my scoresheet as "L8" or "pop6", indicating a lineout to CF or a popout to SS. Now when it comes to Lineouts and Popouts, we all know there's a difference from a standard fly ball. Some people like to mark "F8", but I prefer the number by itself, and I'll explain why in just a second. For example, a flyout to CF would just result in a big "8" on the score box. Now when it comes to plays that are handled by one player, you typically need to add another mark or notation to indicate the nature of the putout.Ī flyout is typically scored just by marking a large number over the score box to indicate which fielder handled it. A groundout that is first deflected by the pitcher, then to the second baseman and on to first would be marked "1-4-3". For example, a groundout from the shortstop to the first basemen would be marked as "6-3". Offense, Defense, they all have their specific notation.Īll plays are marked by noting all the players who were involved in the end result of the ball, separated by a dash. The shorthand all has to do with how every play goes down. This shorthand is used to save room in the score box for scoring plays as they happen. But I'll then assume you don't and tell you anyhow.
Now I'm gonna wager that everyone reading this is at least somewhat familiar with how the position number assigmments go. OK let's get started with the absolute basics, starting with Positions.

Join me after the jump and we’ll start learning how to keep score. Reason for this is that they have a fair number of spots for pitchers, they have a lot of room for substitutions, and the scorecard isn't overly cluttered on the actual score box.

You can buy a book full of them at Dick's or Sports Authority, you can buy an individual card at the Rockies game for $1.50, or you can do what I do, and make your own. Now there are many ways to get a scorecard. That's right, fair RowBots, today, we are going to learn how to keep a proper scorecard. No, but seriously, baseball statistical evaluation is only worthwhile if the statistics are both there and properly collected. I think most of the traditional statics we use are flawed, incomplete, and too often victim to small sample sizes, and other flaws.īut whether you think the Win is the ultimate statistic or you'd prefer to compare contextual wOBAs and compare them to a player's VORP for the season, these numbers all have to come from somewhere. I like stats that are made of acronyms and may confuse Joe Morgan.
