Baseball Stat Tracker is the fastest way to capture a real-game at-bat. Tap once — the stats update instantly. Built for coaches, parents, and players who want real numbers without wrestling a spreadsheet between innings. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • One tap per at-bat. 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, BB, K, stolen bases, RBIs — all one press away. • Live slash line. AVG, OBP, SLG, OPS recalculate the moment you log a result. • Counting stats, ready. AB, H, HR, RBI, BB, K, SB, GO, FO, LO — expand the grid when you want the detail. • Contact quality. Tag a hit as strong or weak to keep a read on how the ball came off the bat. • Full game log. Every at-bat is timestamped and grouped by day so you can scroll back through a whole season. • Recent form meter. See the last five at-bats at a glance — streaks and slumps, visible. • Undo and redo anything. Tapped the wrong button mid-inning? One press and it's gone. • Your whole roster.
