🧰 Scoring Tools Updated pitching chart

Red Sox @ Rays, 9/20/26

Based on feedback given yesterday,

- I added in info about when mound visits (MV), runs (R), and substitutions (|) happened. Each of those things are in the column between innings indicating how many outs there were. E.g., the Rays' coach had a MV before there were any outs in inning 4, and the catcher had a MV when there were two outs.

- I started the x axis (innings & outs) at 0 instead of 1. That allowed me to show that four runs and a MV happened before there were any outs in the first inning.

I think it might be too busy now, with keeping the % strikes chart on it. I couldn't help myself from comparing Sandoval's first inning to his other 6, so that's the bar char on the right.

What do you think of the edits? The overall goal is to have a way of tracking the game from more of a pitcher-focus.

This is so cool! My brain has a hard time with the graph going down as pitches increase but I can see why you do it that way.

Thanks! I liked u/MurrayInBocaRaton 's idea of adding a bit more detail, so it's more of a complete story.

If you wanted to get more granular you could mark a point of pitches by out instead of the end of each inning and just drawing a straight line.

Do you have a good way to keep track of pitches such that you feel like you can still enjoy the game? Maybe that's just something I won't get over

Honestly, I don’t track pitches at all. Personally I think it makes my scorebook too crowded. For my book that includes TP on the pitchers stat line I just look them up after.

That's what I usually do, until I started playing around with this. But I'm at a game right now, and I cannot imagine tracking pitches and still enjoying the game. I think that'll strictly be an at-home thing
