What’s on it

  • Batting order with room for 13 batters, for leagues that bat the whole roster (a continuous batting order).
  • Position by inning for 7 innings, so you can plan a defensive rotation before the game and show every family their child’s playing time.
  • Substitutes: who came in, for whom, and in which inning.
  • Courtesy runners, for leagues that allow them for the pitcher and catcher. See the courtesy runner rule.
  • Pitchers today, with pitch counts to copy into the pitch count log.

Positions use the scorebook numbers (1 pitcher, 2 catcher, 3 first base… 9 right field). The key is printed at the bottom.

Most leagues want a copy for the umpire and one for the other team’s scorekeeper before the first pitch, so print two.
