When the leadoff batter reaches base, say on a walk, the scorecard shows his progress from home to first as 'BB.' If the second batter advances him to second by hitting a single, the leadoff runners progress from first to second is labelled 'AB2.' Would it be possible to amend this to show '#27' (or whatever player number the second batter wears)? When I read the scorecard, my mind links #27 to Jeffy or whatever, while 'AB2' makes me look back through the lineup to see who the heck they're talking about. Ideally, it would display 'AB4' until you provided the fourth batter's uniform number and then would say '#33.'

Thank you for the suggestion. We will add it to our enhancement list for future consideration.

I would also like to see this change made. Much, much easier to follow base advances. More intuitive.

On the flip side, players are not required to have jersey numbers in order to score games. We definitely know the lineup position that was at bat when the runner advanced. We will add the request to our enhancement list as noted, but have to weight it against the confusion of what happens when players don't have jersey numbers.
