Meanwhile, in the No. The Mudhens now have a runner on second with one out. The runner on second tries to steal third and is thrown out. Any idea how that might be scored? Now the Mudhens have two outs and Casey is up. But the mighty Casey strikes out. Or, a backward K indicates the batter looked at strike three without swinging. The top of the first is over.
Your first scoring experience is in the books. Well, not quite. This clearly indicates who the leadoff batter will be in the next inning. An electronic or a paper scorebook should have a spot for that. Getting the hang of it? Translated: shortstop to second base to first base equals a double play. The best way to learn is to jump right in. A baseball scorecard will be presented in a landscape format, with columns for each batter in the lineup and rows for each inning of the game.
There is then a corresponding box in each row to the right of the names that represent each inning. When you keep score in a baseball game, you will record what happened with each batter in the appropriate box.
For example, to start off, you'll be recording the outcome of the play for the leadoff hitter in the box that corresponds to the first inning. You will be recording balls and strikes as well as the outcome of the actual at bat -- whether it was a hit, a walk, an out or a strikeout, for example. Like the positions, each plate appearance -- in which the batter either reaches base safely or makes an out -- is tracked with certain abbreviations.
If the batter reached base safely, for example, by hitting a double, then you will put 2B in the box. Outs that are recorded will be marked in the box accordingly as well, and also signify which fielder recorded the out. For ground outs, you will record the play by writing the player who fielded the ball followed by the player who caught the ball for the out.
For example, a ground out fielded by the third baseman and thrown to the first baseman will be recorded in the scorebook as You will do this by writing the number of the out that was made -- for example 1 for the first out recorded in the inning -- and then circling it. On the scorebook, there will be a place in each box to push hash marks or check marks -- three for balls and two for strikes. This will give you an insight as to what the count was when a certain event in the game happened, and also allow you to track how many pitches each pitcher has thrown.
The final major thing you'll record when learning how to keep score in baseball is how the runners progress around the base path. If a batter happens to fly out, you would write F plus the jersey number of the fielder who caught the ball. If a runner gets tagged or forced out, make sure to draw a line halfway to the base they were aiming for. How was our guide to scoring a baseball game by hand?

Skip to content. Learn the Code of Baseball Scoring Baseball scoring features a shorthand code of sorts that was developed to make scoring a little bit easier at baseball games. Positions Position numbers are assigned to each position. Double plays Now, we need to figure out how to record double plays.

Let's skip ahead to the Seattle third inning. It was a big inning for the Mariners. On the bottom, it's 4 runs, 4 hits, 0 errors, 0 left on base.
The score is The Mariners tacked on two more in the fourth to make it The Indians score two more runs in the eighth inning and tie the game at 7, but they leave the bases loaded again. You can follow that on the finished product, but skip ahead to the top of the ninth inning.
