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
