Baseball Scoreboard
Keep the score as a baseball game unfolds. Record runs, hits and fielding errors, track balls, strikes and outs, and place runners manually. Three outs advance the half inning. Correct any inning score or count, undo the last event, and print or download the complete record. It runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install and no account.
Runs and hits: batting team. Errors: fielding team. Update runners manually.
Manual runners
Runner movements are manual. Advancing the half inning clears all bases.
Inning scoreboard
| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Away | 0 | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Home | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | 0 | 0 | 0 |
A dash means no inning score has been recorded. Zero means the half inning has been opened or entered as scoreless.
Pitch counts and scoring conventions
Runs and hits go to the batting team. Errors go to the fielding team. Hits, errors and runs do not move runners or clear the count. Ball in play records one pitch and clears the count; record the play’s outcome separately.
Team pitches thrown: Away 0 · Home 0. These are team totals, not individual pitcher records.
Ball, Strike, Foul and Ball in play each add one pitch. The other buttons do not. Avoid counting the same pitch twice. A third strike records an out; standard fouls do not add a third strike. Use corrections for dropped-third-strike, caught-foul or other special outcomes. No automatic game-ending, walk-off or mercy rule is applied.

Common questions
- How do you read a baseball scoreboard?
- Each team has one row. The visiting team is on top because it bats first, in the top of each inning; the home team is below. The numbered columns are innings and show the runs scored in each. R is total runs, H is hits and E is errors. A team’s E counts errors made by its own fielders, so it describes that team’s defence. A blank or dash means the half inning has not been played, and an X in the home team’s last inning means it was already ahead and did not need to bat. This scoreboard uses the same layout, with a dash for innings not yet recorded.
- What do B, S, O, K, LOB, MVR and ABS mean on a baseball scoreboard?
- B, S and O are the count: balls and strikes on the current batter, and outs in the half inning. K is a strikeout. LOB is runners left on base when a half inning ends. MV or MVR is mound visits, or mound visits remaining, in leagues that limit how often a team may visit its pitcher. ABS is the Automated Ball-Strike system; where a league uses ABS challenges, the scoreboard shows how many each team has left. P or PC is a pitch count. This tool keeps the count, runs, hits, errors and team pitch totals. It does not track LOB, mound visits or challenges.
- How do you read the baseball scoreboard on TV?
- The TV score box packs the same game state into one corner: each team’s abbreviation and runs, an arrow or Top/Bot with the inning number, a small diamond with the occupied bases filled in, the count written as balls-strikes (3-1 means three balls and one strike), dots or a number for outs, and often the pitcher’s pitch count. Newer layouts can add the pitch clock and challenges remaining. This tool shows the half inning, count, outs, runners and runs in the same way.
- What happens after three outs?
- The scoreboard advances from the top to the bottom of an inning, or from the bottom to the next inning. Balls, strikes, outs and manual runners clear. Runs, hits, errors and pitch totals remain. Undo restores the whole preceding state.
- Does ball four move runners automatically?
- No. A fourth ball clears the ball/strike count and displays a walk prompt. You place the batter and advance any forced runners manually. No runs are added automatically.
- How are pitches, strikeouts and fouls recorded?
- Ball, Strike, Foul and Ball in play each add one pitch to the fielding team’s total. A third strike records an out. Standard fouls stop adding strikes at two; use an out or count correction for caught fouls, dropped-third-strike situations or other special outcomes. Pitch totals are for teams, not individual pitchers.
- Which buttons add hits, runs or errors?
- Run +1 and Hit +1 apply to the batting team. Fielding error +1 applies to the other team. These actions do not move runners, clear counts or add pitches. Ball in play adds one pitch and clears the count, leaving you to enter the result separately.
- Can I correct an earlier inning or change team names?
- Yes. Expand the correction controls to edit team names, the current count, a team’s runs in any inning, or hits/errors/pitch totals. Moving to another half inning clears counts and runners while preserving scores. Every recorded correction can be undone. Blank inning runs mean not played; zero means scoreless.
- Does the game end automatically?
- No. Mark final when your game has ended and Resume game to continue recording play. No automatic walk-off, mercy, tie or extra-inning rule is applied. Corrections and undo remain available after marking final. The scoreboard supports up to 99 innings.
- Where is my game saved?
- It stays in memory in this browser tab and is not automatically saved. Reloading or leaving can lose it. Download a text record or print it to keep all recorded events. Starting a new game clears the scoreboard and undo history; records cannot be imported back.
- Is there a baseball scoreboard app, and does it work on a phone?
- This is a web page rather than an app to install. It works in any current browser on an iPhone, Android phone, iPad or other tablet, Chromebook, Mac or Windows computer, with nothing to download and no account. Keeping score costs nothing. The game is not saved automatically, so keep the tab open during play and download or print the record before closing it.
- Can I use it for Little League or other shorter games?
- Yes. No inning limit or game-ending rule is applied, so it works for six-inning Little League games, seven-inning games and extra innings up to 99. Mark final when your game ends; innings that were not played keep a dash. Pitch totals are team totals, and the tool does not apply any league’s pitch-count limits or rest rules.
