Baseball scorekeeping is the practice of recording the details of a baseball game as it unfolds.
Scorekeeping involves more than just keeping track of how many runs cross the plate.
Scorekeeping — a system of numbers, symbols and methodology that is as much a part of the game as an old glove — is a language all its own. But it's not hard to learn. And once you're fluent in scorekeeping, you're ready to keep track of every pitch, every at-bat, every hit and every out.
These documents will help you get started or refresh your scorekeeping skills.

New scorekeepers are writing a simple book that gives the ABC’s of the game. Record hits, runs, & outs. Make sure each player’s name is written down correctly. No need for lots of details. Think of someone learning to read. Make it clean, clear & easy to read.
Connecting the dots from the 1st pitch to the last out.
As you become a more experience scorekeeper…have fun! It’s like writing a novel. The more details the greater the story. Everyone matters, every position is important; every play impacts the next play. Have a goal that if someone was to read your scorebook that wasn’t at the game they would be able to relive it through you!
