The Little League scoreboard never works. Now you can keep track of the game with your phone. BB Score Keeper is the simplest baseball scorekeeper ever made. No complicated stat sheets. No confusing menus. No subscriptions. Just tap and play. HOW IT WORKS - Tap the ball button 4 times - runner walks to first base - Tap the strike button 3 times - out count goes up - Touch home plate - score increases for the team at bat - After 3 outs - inning changes and the other team comes up to bat That's the whole app. Values advance automatically so you can keep your eyes on the field instead of fumbling with your phone between pitches. PERFECT FOR - Parents in the stands when the dugout scoreboard is broken (again) - Coaches who need a quick way to track the count - Grandparents following along from the bleachers - Backyard games with the kids - T-ball, coach pitch, Little League, travel ball, softball, and pickup games - Anyone tired of losing track of balls, strikes, outs, and runs WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT - One-handed operation - tap with your thumb while you cheer - Big, easy-to-read numbers visible from across the bleachers - No accounts, no logins, no spam - Works without internet - perfect for fields with no signal - Built for the chaos of youth baseball, where the scoreboard is held together with duct tape - Lightweight and fast - opens instantly when the first pitch is thrown WHO IT'S FOR Every parent who's ever asked "what inning are we in?" and gotten three different answers from the row in front of them. Every coach who needed a clipboard but only brought a phone. Every kid who wants to play umpire in the backyard. If your league's scoreboard works perfectly, you don't need this app. If it's like every Little League scoreboard ever built - sometimes on, sometimes off, sometimes stuck on the third inning from last Saturday - then BB Score Keeper has your back. GREAT FOR - Little League and Cal Ripken games - T-ball and coach pitch - Pony League, USSSA, AAU, and travel ball tournaments - High school and middle school games - Softball - fast pitch and slow pitch - Wiffle ball and backyard pickup games - Practice scrimmages EASY ENOUGH FOR KIDS The interface is so simple that kids can run the score themselves. Hand the phone to a sibling and let them be the official scorekeeper for the day. Big buttons. No typing. No setup screens to wade through. PICTURE THIS You walk up to the field. The scoreboard reads "0 - 0, top of the 1st" and has read that way for forty-five minutes. The other coach swears it's the bottom of the third. You pull out your phone, open BB Score Keeper, and the argument is over. HOW IT'S DIFFERENT Other baseball apps want lineups, batting orders, jersey numbers, subscriptions, and your email. By the time you're set up, your kid has struck out twice. BB Score Keeper does one thing: it keeps the score. NO NONSENSE - No ads blocking the buttons - No subscriptions - No accounts to create - No premium features hiding behind paywalls - No data tracking - Just a scorekeeper that works Open it. Start tapping. The game keeps moving. Whether you're a baseball mom, a Little League coach, a tournament umpire's parent, or a grandparent trying to follow along between innings, BB Score Keeper turns your phone into a baseball scoreboard that actually works. So easy to use. Download BB Score Keeper today and never lose track of the count again.

BaseballScorer is a free, complete baseball scorecard for your iPad or iPhone. No ads. No paywall. No in-app purchases required. Just open the app and start scoring. Whether you're keeping score for the first time or you've filled a shelf with scorebooks, BaseballScorer meets you where you are. Missed a few pitches while grabbing a hot dog? No problem — catch up from the MLB live feed, or just skip ahead and keep going. Made a mistake? Tap any at-bat to go back and fix it. The app never blocks you, never nags you, and never makes you feel like you're doing it wrong. **Free scoring guide** — Pair the app with our companion site at scoring.theyawns.com: in-depth explanations of every scoring situation, from dropped third strikes to fielder's choices, written for scorers of every level. **Learn by doing** — A built-in practice mode walks you through a real MLB game play by play. It tells you exactly what to tap, rejects wrong inputs so you can't get lost, and teaches you real scoring notation as you go. By the end you'll be reading 6-4-3 double plays like a pro. **Score at your own pace** — Track every pitch with Ball, Called, Swinging, and Foul buttons, or turn pitch tracking off and just record outcomes. The app adapts to how much detail you want. Walks and strikeouts record automatically when the count is full. **Real scoring notation** — Tap fielder positions on the diamond to build standard notation: 6-3 groundouts, F8 fly balls, 6-4-3 double plays, SF9 sac flies. Long-press for variants like bunt singles, ground-rule doubles, and fielder's choices. Your scorecard reads just like the real thing. **Traditional scorecard** — Rotate to landscape for a classic grid: lineup slots down the side, innings across the top. Fielding notation, pitch dots, runner paths, and RBI markers — everything a paper scorecard has, but you never have to erase. **The full game** — Pinch hitters, pinch runners, pitching changes, defensive substitutions, stolen bases, wild pitches, passed balls, balks, and replay challenges — both ABS pitch challenges and Manager challenges of on-field calls (safe/out, fair/foul, catch/trap, HR boundary). If it happens in a baseball game, you can score it. **MLB integration** — Pick today's game and lineups load automatically. Player stats (AVG, OBP, ERA) appear alongside each at-bat. Start from the first pitch, or use "Catch me up" to auto-score everything that's happened so far and pick up live. **Features:** - Pitch-by-pitch tracking or direct outcome entry - Full fielding notation including mid-chain errors (6-3, F8, 5-4-3 DP, SF9, E5, FC, 6-E4-3, K 2-E3) - Diamond visualization with runner tracking - All substitution types: PH, PR, defensive changes, pitching changes - Pitch count tracking per pitcher - ABS pitch challenges + Manager Challenge for on-field calls - Saved lineup favorites — switch between Vs LHP / Vs RHP / tournament lineups per team - Batter and pitcher stats (AVG, OBP, OPS, ERA) - Line score with R/H/E totals - Landscape scorecard grid - Save and resume games anytime - Works offline for non-MLB games - Interactive practice tutorial - iPad and iPhone optimized
