Fastball count stat inaccurate

Pitcher enters game, throws 28 total pitches, 1 curve ball, 27 fastballs. However, the Team Pitching statistic shows 32 fastballs thrown. A review of the Play by Play / Edit Game record seems to indicate that the Fastball statistic is counting pitcher pickoff throws, catcher pickoff throws, and steals as fastballs. Am I doing something wrong? How can I correct this?

What software Android or Apple and version ?

Are you recording pitches locations first (yes /no)

I did a quick test and the stats seem to be collecting OK for me.

(apple , Pitch location first)

Hi OhioTex,

I am using iScore v5.108 on my Apple iPad running iOS 11.3.1.

First, I am recording speeds of each pitch off radar gun, so I note the pitch speed, then location, then type of pitch, then Ball, Strike, Foul, Out, or In P.

Am I supposed to select pitch location before speed? Many thanks for your input.

Scotty

PS:

And just to be sure, I just tested it again in a seven pitch game. The game went as follows:

88 mph fastball Strike 1
87 mph fastball Strike 2
86 mph fastball - Batter 1 HBP, advances to 1st

85 mph fastball Strike 1
84 mph fastball Strike 2
Pickoff attempt
83 mph fastball Ball 1
Pickoff attempt Catcher to 1B
82 mph fastball Strike 3
End Game

That's 7 pitches, 7 fastballs, five for strikes,

Under team pitching:
PIT = 7 total pitches (this appears correct)
Fb = 9?? (this appear to include the pickoff attempts)
FbS% = 55.6 (should be 71%, 5 out of seven pitches were strikes. However, 5 out of 9 pitches does equal 55.6%).

There is a setting..that enables you to record
Pitch speed/type/location first ( ie before ball/strike/foul/out/in play) but the default setting is after.

Try changing setting to first.. that may account for some inaccuracy

We will check into this... thank you for the test sequence you created as well - that should help us identify what is going on.

OhioTex, I do have "Pitch Location First" set as Yes on all my games. Whether this is affected by entering the speed first, I cannot tell.

Many thanks to FTMSupport!!!
