My name is Robert Bulka. I have been a baseball fan all my life. When I was a little kid, It was a ritual for Dad and I to catch every Yankees game we could. Money was tight, so trips to the Bronx were rare. We had to be content to sit at home and watch the games on TV. That was, of course, provided that Mom didn’t have other plans for the TV at game time. In those cases, we were relegated to the kitchen to listen to the Bill White call the game on the radio. But whether we were at the Stadium, in front of the TV, or sitting around the radio, we’d always score the game, taking turns every inning.
Dad taught me the basics of scoring just about the time I started going to school, and by the time I started Little League, I was almost an expert. Dad was always there to help me when I encountered a play I didn’t know how to score. I still have some of those scorecards from a few memorable games, with Dad’s crisp lines and careful notations, and my barely legible chicken-scratch.
As I grew older, I realized just how much scorekeeping with Dad taught me about the game of baseball. I had developed a pretty complete knowledge of the rules, a good understanding of the strategies employed by managers, and most importantly, a genuine love for the game.
The memories of the time Dad and I spent scoring those baseball games are priceless, and the bond that we developed as a result of our baseball sessions is strong to this day. Now, I’m sharing the same ritual with my son, Bobby. That father-son bond is impossible to describe.
Those experiences prompted me to write this ebook. My Dad is a student of the game, so his knowledge was extensive, even back then. But not every baseball fan understands the game at that level. For those people, this book is written for you.
If you’re a coach, it can also be used as a tool to gain an advantage on your competition. When you know how to score baseball, you can analyze your team’s performance, as well as your opponents, and develop a winning game strategy.
For parents, recording your child’s games gets you more involved, and provides a way for you to measure the progress they’re making. It’s a great supportive and motivational tool!
Many people (maybe even you!) have had a desire to Learn to score a baseball game, but the process seemed very involved and hard to comprehend. We’ve all sat at the ball field and watched as an avid fan covered his scoresheet with what look like odd-looking codes or alien languages. Maybe you’ve even envied that fan because he had the intelligence to understand this cryptic code.
Well, I’m here to tell you that I’ve made it easy and fun to learn Baseball Scoring! Each scenario is explained, and accompanied by an illustration of how to score that exact situation.
Not only will you learn the process of keeping score, you’ll also find explanations of real game situations that will help you interpret what’s happening on the field, even in the most unusual circumstances.
Most ground ball outs involve more than one defensive player. The out is entered by recording each defensive player’s position number in the sequential order in which they handle the ball.
The scorekeeping entry to the right illustrates the ground ball out of the First Baseman, Jones in the First Inning. He hit a ground ball to the third baseman who caught it and threw the ball to the first baseman for the first out of the inning.
It is recorded in the scorebook as a “5-3″ ground out; where “5″ represents the third baseman catching the ground ball and “3″ represents the first baseman catching the throw from the third baseman for the out (notice the sequence of the play is repeated in the scoring).
The number “1” with a circle around it is used to help keep track of the number of outs in an inning. This is a good habit to get into!
The boxes in the upper left hand corner of each cell represents balls and strikes. You can keep track of the batter’s count and count the number of pitchers by entering a dot after each pitch. The top three squares are to track balls, the bottom two for strikes. The ball that is hit in play is not recorded.
As an ex-pitcher and coach, I understand the importance of keeping track of every detail of every pitch thrown in a game for the purpose of analyzing your pitchers’ successes and failures, and also to keep a log of batters’ weaknesses and strengths. So I developed my exclusive Pitch Replay Chart, which provides the ability to easily record the important details of every pitch thrown by every pitcher.
It makes it easy to analyze which pitches are working for your pitchers against specific batters, and also helps identify weaknesses and strengths in your own players’ selection of pitches they swing at.
If you’re a coach, you can’t afford not to take advantage of this powerful tool (especially if your opponents are using it).
This Pitch Recording System Could Mean The Difference Between Playing For The League Championship or Watching From The Bleachers!
