THE SCOREBOX

available_at_amazon_1200x600_Nvz5h2M.png

The copyrighted Baseball by the Numbers scorebox is the heart of our scorekeeping system. The box is compact, yet roomy enough to record all the data you need on each player during their turn at bat.

Baseball Scorekeeping scorebox

CENTER
Allows you to account for a runner's progress from base to base, record how an out occurred, and indicate a run scored.

LEFT
Allows you to circle a base hit; a walk, hit by pitched ball, or sacrifice out (none of which count against the batter as a time at bat); or a fielder's choice.

TOP
Allows you to record balls and strikes, a strike out, and the field location of a base hit.

RIGHT
Allows you to neatly indicate the first batter in the inning, the point at which a player is substituted, when a change in pitchers takes place, and whether a run scored is "earned" or "unearned."

BOTTOM
Allows you to mark runs batted in and record the number of outs in the inning. This is the full scorebox. It allows you to record more data than other baseball scorebooks.

THE SCOREBOX
IN ACTION

Baseball scorebox explained

This example shows that the first batter in the inning, who was a substitute, faced a new pitcher and, after a full count, reached base on a single (1B) between the third baseman and the shortstop (5/6). Then, he stole second base (SB) and took third on a wild pitch. Finally, the third baseman made a throw to the catcher (5-2) to get him out, the second out in the inning.

Baseball scorekeeping scorebooks

We know what it's like to sit in the stands or a dugout for hours and try to keep things clear, clean, and legible. 

That's why our books offer a spacious 11- by 14-inch format, are spiral bound to allow easy page turning, and have a rigid, extra-heavy back cover to provide a stable writing surface.

​

Keeping score for a game is done on facing pages so moving from scoring one team in an inning to the other means simply flipping the book over rather than turning the pages back and forth.

 

And the scoresheets are printed in two colors—clear black lines and text and blue scoreboxes that allow you to clearly mark scoring data with a pencil.
