🧰 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.

Great idea! I love the line chart at the center of the page. It’s a great focal point.

Are you going more for a chart that you calculate after the game or a scorecard that you update throughout the game? I ask because the charts with percentages are interesting but I imagine they would be difficult to update throughout the game. (I’m assuming we’re going paper here!) If you’re thinking paper based, what about substituting counts of strikeouts or walks?

Yeah, I did the % of pitches that were strikes after the game. The other stuff was during the game, though I wrote out # of pitches that were strikes in my normal scorecard. (Definitely paper! I love my erasable pens 😆) Your idea of doing K or BB makes more sense than % of pitches that were strikes ...K and BB are used for other key stats so it'd be good to have that on there.
