Chart a game

Tap Ball or Strike for each pitch, or press B and S. The −1 on a card takes one off, and Undo takes back the last press. Copy results copies the table, and Reset starts the next pitcher at zero.

Count to your league's limit

Load Pitch count to a limit from More options and type your league's number in Target. It beeps once there. The page prints no limit of its own.

The list under the tool has pitches by inning, pitch types and first-pitch strikes. A six-outcome set, with fouls and balls in play counted apart, is on the online tally counter.

Questions and answers

What counts as a pitch in a pitch count?

Every pitch thrown. A pitch count is the number of pitches a pitcher throws in a game, so a ball, a strike, a foul and a ball put in play each add one.

Does a foul ball count as a strike?

In baseball, yes when the batter has fewer than two strikes. With two, a foul adds none to the batter's count unless it was bunted. For the pitcher every foul is recorded as a strike, and it is a pitch thrown, so tap Strike.

How do you work out strike percentage?

Divide strikes by total pitches and multiply by 100. The Balls and strikes board does it as you tap: 18 strikes in 30 pitches shows 60.0% on the Strike card.

What is the pitch count limit?

There is no single one. It depends on the league, and a youth league may set a different number for each age group, so this page prints none. Type your league's number as the target in Pitch count to a limit.

Can I use the pitch counter for softball?

Yes. Softball has balls and strikes too. Its games usually run seven innings, so on Pitches by inning the last two counters stay at zero.

Game 5

Balls and strikes The board this page opens on. Press B for a ball and S for a strike. A pitch the batter swings at goes on Strike, whether it is missed, fouled off or put in play. The total is the pitch count and the Strike card carries the strike percentage: 18 strikes and 12 balls are 30 pitches, 60.0% strikes.
Every pitch on one button A single large button, pressed for each pitch the pitcher throws in the game, whatever becomes of it. Count one thing switches to this counter.
Pitch count to a limit Beeps once when the count reaches the number in Target. That number opens at 10 as a placeholder: put in the limit your own league sets.
Pitches by inning Nine counters on keys 1 to 9, one for each inning of a full baseball game, with the pitch count as the total. Tap the inning being played. In a seven-inning game, softball included, the last two stay at zero.
Two pitchers side by side A counter for each side's pitcher, on F and J. Type the two names in the field above the counters. There is no total, because the two counts are never added together.

Charting 3

First pitch: strike or ball One press for each batter, on the first pitch only. The total is the batters charted and the share on First-pitch strike is the first-pitch strike percentage: 14 of 20 is 70.0%.
In the zone and out of the zone Charts where each pitch crossed, whatever the call or the swing. I is a pitch through the strike zone, the space over home plate from the batter's knees to the middle of the torso; O is one outside it. 33 in and 22 out is 60.0% in the zone.
Pitch types Five keys for a pitch chart: F fastball, C curveball, S slider, H changeup and O for anything else. The shares give the mix: 30, 10, 6 and 4 with no others are 60.0%, 20.0%, 12.0% and 8.0% of 50 pitches.

Practice 1

Practice session to a set number Balls and strikes for a practice session that beeps twice and stops when the total reaches the target, so the session ends on the number planned. It opens at 10 pitches; put your own number in Target under More options.
