Notes

Fielders are numbers 1 to 9
1 pitcher, 2 catcher, 3 first base, 4 second base, 5 third base, 6 shortstop, 7 left field, 8 center field, 9 right field.
On base: 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, BB, HBP
Single, double, triple, home run, walk, hit by pitch. IBB is an intentional walk.
Out: K, 6-3, F8
Strikeout, ground out from shortstop to first, fly out to center field. Any fielder numbers work the same way.
Third out: a slash in the corner
Draw a slash across the lower right corner of the box that holds the third out, so the end of the inning shows at a glance.
Substitute: a line, then PH or PR
Draw a vertical line after the last box of the player who left and write the new name on the same batting line. PH is a pinch hitter, PR a pinch runner.
Batted around? Use the next column
A batter who comes up twice in one inning gets the next column. Mark its lower left corner so the two columns read as one inning.
Plain boxes, your own marks
The boxes are empty, with no small diamond printed in them. Most fans settle on marks of their own: circle a batter's mark when that batter scores, and count the circles on a line for R.
One sheet for each team
A game is usually kept on two scorecards, one for each batting order. Print two.

How to fill in a blank baseball score sheet

Write the batting order down the side. Each time a batter comes up, write what happened in that inning's box, in the scoring marks listed under the sheet. After the last out, count each line into AB, R, H and RBI.

A softball scoresheet and a pitch count

7 innings: softball is the same scorecard with seven inning boxes, the scheduled length of softball and high school baseball. Pitch count is a third sheet, with a line for each pitcher.

  • A six-inning youth game fits the seven-inning sheet, and the spare column takes an extra inning.

Questions and answers

Is this printable baseball scorecard free?

Yes. Print blank sheet puts the open scorecard on paper with the scoring marks under it, on US Letter or A4. There is no sign-up and no file to download: pick Save as PDF in the print window if you want one.

Is there a printable baseball scorecard with pitch count?

Yes, as a sheet of its own. Pitch count has one line for each pitcher, a box for the pitches of each inning and PC for the game total.

Can I use it as a free softball score sheet?

Yes: the seven-inning sheet is the softball one, and its notes add fielder 10 for slow-pitch. A team that bats more than ten adds lines under the last.

Does the score sheet add up the runs?

No. Every box is a blank to write in, and the four totals are counted by hand. For a line score that adds each team's runs inning by inning, use the baseball scoreboard template.

All 25 columns and notes

Inning boxes, 1 to 9 9

  • 1st inning at bat One box is one trip to the plate. Write what the batter did there, in the marks listed under Scoring marks.
  • 2nd inning at bat SB in a batter's box is a base that batter stole after getting on.
  • 3rd inning at bat Some scorers keep F for foul outs and write a caught fly as the fielder's number alone, a bare 8.
  • 4th inning at bat A third strike the batter did not swing at is a backwards K. Kc for called and Ks for swinging say the same in plain letters.
  • 5th inning at bat Reached on an error? Write E and the fielder's number: E3 is a throw the first baseman dropped.
  • 6th inning at bat FC is a fielder's choice: the defense put out a runner and the batter reached first. Add who handled the ball, such as 6-4.
  • 7th inning at bat After each half-inning the runs can be noted at the foot of its column: name a spare batter line RUNS and write them there.
  • 8th inning at bat A double play goes on the batter's line with every fielder in order. 6-4-3, 4-6-3 and 5-4-3 are common ones.
  • 9th inning at bat The last scheduled inning in professional and college baseball. A game that runs past the sheet carries on a second one.

AB, R, H and RBI 4

  • At bats AB: the batter's trips to the plate, leaving out walks, times hit by a pitch, sacrifices, interference and obstruction.
  • Hits H: the times the batter reached base on a fair batted ball with no error by the defense.
  • Runs batted in RBI: runners who scored because of what the batter did, except on a ground ball into a double play or when the batter reached on an error.
  • Runs scored R: the times this batter crossed home plate.

Pitch count 1

  • Pitch count PC: a pitcher's total pitches for the game, the last box of each line on the Pitch count sheet.

Scoring marks 11

  • Batted around? Use the next column A batter who comes up twice in one inning gets the next column. Mark its lower left corner so the two columns read as one inning.
  • Every pitch counts, fouls too A pitch that is fouled off adds to the count like any other. Youth leagues set limits by age, so check your own rule book.
  • Fielders are numbers 1 to 9 1 pitcher, 2 catcher, 3 first base, 4 second base, 5 third base, 6 shortstop, 7 left field, 8 center field, 9 right field.
  • On base: 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, BB, HBP Single, double, triple, home run, walk, hit by pitch. IBB is an intentional walk.
  • One line for each pitcher Write the pitches thrown in each inning in that inning's box and the game total under PC. A new pitcher starts a new line.
  • One sheet for each team A game is usually kept on two scorecards, one for each batting order. Print two.
  • Out: K, 6-3, F8 Strikeout, ground out from shortstop to first, fly out to center field. Any fielder numbers work the same way.
  • Plain boxes, your own marks The boxes are empty, with no small diamond printed in them. Most fans settle on marks of their own: circle a batter's mark when that batter scores, and count the circles on a line for R.
  • Slow-pitch softball: fielder 10 Slow-pitch softball plays ten fielders. The extra one, a rover or short fielder, is scored as number 10.
  • Substitute: a line, then PH or PR Draw a vertical line after the last box of the player who left and write the new name on the same batting line. PH is a pinch hitter, PR a pinch runner.
  • Third out: a slash in the corner Draw a slash across the lower right corner of the box that holds the third out, so the end of the inning shows at a glance.
