With opening day for the Fort Wayne Tincaps less than two weeks away, It’s time to refresh my play-by-play baseball scoring skills. While there’s a scoring sheet included in the programs handed out at the games (at least for the Single A Tincaps), it doesn’t provide for full at-bat statistics.
The thing I like best about full scoring is the ability to look back and read the score card and understand the detail behind the boxscore. I think this skill is nearly lost in this technical age.
A few years ago, I was re-introduced to baseball scoring while perusing one of my favorite blog sites, Chistopher Swingley’s “Swingley Development” .His site is a very good resource for learning to score baseball (and many other cool things).
Christopher offers some fantastic resources! He offers, free of charge, a number of printable scorecards for both baseball and softball, an example of a fully scored card, and a top-notch inning-by-inning tutorial.
My personal favorite is the “Scorecard with pitching statistics in black” .
