Scoring a baseball game is a lost art. As a kid, I used to score every game I went to, keeping track of every hit, out, run and error. For the first time in years, I decided to score a ballgame again, this time at Coors Field in Denver. As I was remembering and scratching out that familiar shorthand, it occurred to me – I wonder if anyone’s made software to score ballgames. In particular, software that can run on a handheld device,
like a Blackberry or PDA.

 

After a furious Google search, it turns out All Pro Software has. They call it the StatTrak K-Force. The K-Force allows you to score baseball and softball games right from your handheld device. And it lets you do things you could never do with a pad and pencil. If you have a man on first base and your next batter walks, enter a walk for the batter, and it will automatically show that the runner advanced to second. If the next batter hits a home run, it will automatically update the RBI and runs scored statistics of the player at the plate and those on base. After the game, you can print out your scorecard.

Other elements of the game you can track are:
• Pitch count
• Hit location
• Substitutions
• Game and at-bat comments

The K-Force Baseball Scoring and Stat Tracker is perfect to bring to the ballpark, and it’s an invaluable tool for baseball and softball coaches.

You can download K-Force right after you purchase it online for 49.95 All Pro Software, and you’ll receive a CD-ROM for a backup copy.
