Hi there-
One thing that I've enjoyed from your non-app competitors (Ballscore, for example), is that you can see easily on the screen that batters cumulative stats. I think it is a tad cumbersome for me to be able to check a players cumulative batting stats during the game. As far as I can tell, the only way to do so is to click on the players name in the lineup, and then turn their player card over, and then scroll to the stats I want to see.
There is room right next to the batter to show basic stats (.250-3-12 or something like that for average-home runs-rbis). Perfect world you could customize to show whatever stats you want while you are on the game screen.
Then when it comes to pitching stats.... am I correct that there is no way to look at the pitchers stats in game? The player card is hitting only. Again, some easy way to either see a pitchers stats on the game screen or a one-click type of solution would be much appreciated.
Speaking of the player card, is there a chance that we could rearrange the stats a little bit? Simple stuff like OPS is all the way to the right to where you have to scroll. I think it would be more intuitive to have the player's card just show AB/H/R/RBI/2B/3B/HR/SB/AVG/SLG/OBP/OPS or some sort of similar important stats on the face of the player card, spread out so that you don't have to scroll at all. Then, if you wanted to dig deeper, be able to click on a button on the screen to take you to the advance stats. Again, to be able to customize would be huge.
Regardless of these items, I do need to say that iscore has been exactly what the doctor ordered and has allowed me to start cumulating stats for my strat-o-matic replays. This type of easy to access data would be the icing on the cake.

Interesting suggestions
Not exactly what you want, but don't forget you can see balls stikes earned runs by pitcher by half inning on the inning recap screen.

Re: Display cumulative stats during game
The Player Card shows batting, pitching, and fielding.
Thank you for the suggestions... we will keep them in mind as we continue to improve iScore.
Keep in mind that the use case for strat-o-matic is probably a bit different than the use case for a scorekeeper scoring a live game. In strat-o-matic, the statistics play a key role. When scoring a live game, it is the action on the field that is important, and the stats really have no bearing at all. It is interesting information, but does not impact the actual live play of the game at all, and in a "pure scorekeeper" role it has no meaning whatsoever. We do have coaches using iScore live, and they may like to see the information as each batter comes to the plate if they have time, but usually will have planned for the game ahead of time.
Another key difference is the amount of data available --- in youth sports, you may only see the same team 2 or 3 times during a season, so you don't have an extensive amount of data to make the numbers all that meaningful for the opposing teams.

Re: Display cumulative stats during game
Very good points, and I do of course realize that there are limitations in regards to how I'm going to use the program versus the majority of the users out there. I do feel that if I used it to score along with MLB games I'd like to see real-time stats as well, but I do understand that the need/desire for cumulative stats isn't widespread.
Re: Display cumulative stats during game
I would like to second this request. While I understand the app is purely for scoring the current game, not having the cumulative stats available removes any context for the current season.
