Pitches per inning?
Pitches per inning?
Is there a way to see pitch count per pitcher, per inning during a game?
My son plays in a league where pitch count is *very* important. Both teams are required to keep their own book, and may times I am asked the question "how many pitches did our guy throw last inning?" I can give a total real fast, but I haven't been able to see how to get an inning-by-inning view without doing it by hand off the score card (seems kinda primitive).
Thanks!

Re: Pitches per inning?
This is actually the first request we have had for pitch counts by inning. Does your league have rules on the number of pitches that can be thrown per inning? As you noted, you can get the counts from the built in scorecard, but we don't show a count per inning currently.

No rules per inning, just total, and iscore does a great job for that task.FTMSupport wrote:This is actually the first request we have had for pitch counts by inning.

The score book our league hands out has a box to record pitches per inning, per pitcher so that's the way people write it down and hence the way people ask about it.
I wouldn't rate this as a high priority type of thing, I was just curious if it was there and I was missing it.

Thank you for the clarification... we will put it on our list, but keep it a lower priority.

Re: Pitches per inning?
If your fans are asking per inning each inning you could call out the total and they could do the math for the per inning starting the 2nd inning. Or keep both in the same box such as:
1st 10/10 2nd 15/25 3rd 21/46 with the first number being inning count and the second number being total.
1st 10/10 2nd 15/25 3rd 21/46 with the first number being inning count and the second number being total.
Re: Pitches per inning?
I would like to see pitches per inning as well, as well as a pause between innings to recap. Right now, after scoring the last play, I hit "undo", to see the last pitch count, then add 1 to account for the last play.
Also, while we are on this, perhaps on the scorebook, at the top or bottom of each inning putting the pitcher(s) and catcher(s) during that inning (for the opposing team), with the pitch count. We just got an email from our league that we need to track number of innings for each catcher, as well as pitch count for pitchers. Having that info on the scorebook would be helpful.
Thanks!

Re: Pitches per inning?
Thank you for the suggestions... we will add them to our enhancement list for future prioritization.

Re: Pitches per inning?
OK. Both of the problems mentioned in this thread are two of my biggest "beefs" with the app.
I score for little league baseball and pitch counts are very important. At the end of each half inning the home plate umpire will ask the Home and Visitor scorekeeper for a pitch count and then "reconcile" any differences to make the official count. When scoring beyond the first inning pitched there is no way to get the per inning count, only a total. Furthermore, there is no way to subtract the previous total unless it was written down, which in some way defeats the use of an electronic scoring app.
The other problem is that the app jumps to the next half inning once the last out is scored and before one can even see the total pitches for that pitcher(s) and one must then use undo to get the total. This can be frustrating if the inning/half inning ended in a complicated play.
A "recap" screen at the end of each half inning would be helpful. It could have pitch count totals and inning totals for pitchers in the inning along with say runs, hits, error. Maybe this feature could be turned on or off so that those that don't want or need it can skip.
We have to keep a separate paper book at this point to keep track of pitch counts more easily.
PLEASE make this a higher, not lower priority

Re: Pitches per inning?
We will likely be adding a 1/2 inning recap soon. This has been requested in the past and has been moving up the priority list. Thank you.

Re: Pitches per inning?
MHEMD,
Just out of curiosity is the ump accepting data and scoring from Iscore? So far in our leagues the ump will only refer to the paper book, so commenting on pitch count from Iscore to the ump for us is irrelevant.
