You're scoring from the dugout while your own kid is at bat. BatterUp Scorebook is built for that moment, by a coach who's been there. BatterUp Scorebook is a live game scorebook for assistant and head coaches of youth baseball and softball rec teams. Speed and forgiveness beat completeness. Common at-bat outcomes take two taps. Common base advances take one. There's a big visible undo, always available, with no "are you sure?" prompts to slow you down mid-play. Every design choice is for the dugout: glove-friendly tap targets, sunlight-readable contrast, dark mode for evening games at lit fields, and a continuous batting order so every kid bats every inning regardless of defensive subs. What it does: • Live at-bat scoring with two-tap outcomes (Single, Double, Triple, HR, BB, K, groundout, flyout, ROE, FC, HBP, SF) • Continuous batting order, the rec-league default • Free defensive substitution: any player, any position, any inning • Stolen bases, passed balls, wild pitches, errors. One tap on the runner • Big undo for everything during live play • Game recap shared by text or email when the last out is recorded • Stored locally on your phone. No account needed, no data leaves your device What it's NOT: BatterUp Scorebook is not a fantasy-baseball stats engine. It doesn't rank kids, run leaderboards, or push social features. There are no achievements, no notifications begging you to come back, no signup wall, no analytics. Just a clean record of the game. Scored fast, shared simply. Made by a volunteer coach, for volunteer coaches. The tools we needed didn't exist, so we built them.
