Based vs Bat & Box

Based is a live baseball scorecard for MLB and WPBL games that tracks every pitch, play, and at-bat in real time, rendered in a hand-drawn pencil style that feels like keeping score on paper. Live Scorecard Watch your scorecard fill in as the game unfolds. Every at-bat gets its own diamond showing the result, base paths, outs, stolen bases, errors, and more. The grid expands automatically when the lineup bats around. Tap any cell to see the full at-bat detail with a pitch-by-pitch breakdown and strike zone plot. Play-by-Play Timeline Follow the game as a scrolling timeline grouped by half-inning. Every play shows the result, count, and runners. Pitch Tracking See where every pitch landed in the strike zone, color-coded by type and result. Available in the live view and in historical at-bat detail. Player Stats Tap any batter or pitcher to see their game line and season numbers. Built for the Ballpark Based is designed to work on stadium cellular. Smart polling adapts to your connection, backs off when signal drops, and catches up instantly when you unlock your phone. Low Data Mode is respected automatically. Check your work without draining your battery. Personalize It Pick your favorite teams for quick access on the schedule. Choose a team accent color to tint your scorecard. Light and dark mode supported.

A box score is the most beautiful thing in sports. Nine innings across the top, a column of names down the side, and a whole afternoon compressed into a grid you can read in ten seconds. Bat & Box is every one of them, back to 1897. Pick a date — the day you were born, the game your dad still talks about, last night's ninth inning, and read that day the way the morning paper set it: both lineups, every at-bat, every pitching line, the umpires who worked it, the ballpark, the attendance, the time of game. Every name is a door. Tap a player for that season, tap again for the whole career, year by year. Tap a club for its year, the standings, the roster, every result in order, and October if they got there. No feed. No ads. No account. No notifications. Pick a team and the app wears its colors, and your club's game sits at the top of the day. The type is set for columns of small numbers, because that is what a box score is.
