02
Starting a Game
Set up a new game before recording any at-bats or pitching data. This is always the first step.
Game Info Fields
  • DateThe game date. Defaults to today.
  • TimeOptional — game start time.
  • Location / FieldName of the park or field (e.g. "Riverside Park Field 2").
  • Home TeamName of the home team.
  • Visitor TeamName of the visiting team.
  • Player NameYour son's name as it should appear in stats.
  • Defensive PositionThe position he's playing this game. Can be changed mid-game from the At-Bats tab.
Pitching Toggle

Enable "Son is pitching this game" if he will pitch. This unlocks the full Pitching tab for pitch-by-pitch tracking. Leave it off for games where he only bats or plays defense.

Start vs Load Draft

▶ Start / Continue Game — Begins a new game or resumes the current in-progress game.

📂 Load Draft — Restores a previously autosaved draft if the app was closed mid-game.

Tip: You can start the game with just Date and Player Name filled in, and add team names as you go. The inning counter on the At-Bats tab updates live as you enter plays.
03
Scoring At-Bats
The heart of live game scoring. Use this tab during the game to record every plate appearance in real time. The layout is designed for speed — situation on top, one tap for the outcome.
Situation (top row)
  • InningEnter the inning number. The scoreboard strip at the top updates live.
  • HalfTop ▲ = your team batting. Bottom ▼ = opponent batting.
  • OutsOuts at the start of the at-bat (0, 1, or 2).
  • RunnersBase situation when the at-bat begins. Options include every combination from Bases Empty to Bases Loaded.
Pitch Count Dots

Tap the dots to record the count during the at-bat. Tap again to toggle off.

● Balls — up to 4 ● Strikes — up to 3 ● Fouls — up to 5
These are for your reference only — they don't affect the outcome calculation. The final count you select is stored with the at-bat.
Outcome Buttons — tap once to select
Color-coded for instant recognition: ■ green = hits · ■ red = outs · ■ blue = walks & other
