During the season, you may be asked by your team to keep score. LYPBL wants to make sure this is as pleasant an experience as possible for all involved. Therefore, the league requires volunteers of the home team to officially Score keep games.
To keep score you MUST be able to properly:
- Track balls, strikes, fouls, outs, and defensive changes
- Track pitch count (in leagues where applicable)
- Position changes for all players in every inning
- Pitching changes
- Tracking movement for base runners
- Batter results
- Notifying the umpire when pitch count is reached (in leagues where applicable)
- Completion of pitching statistics
- Notifying the umpire if minimum play is not met in all leagues and divisions
LYPBL does provide training on how to keep score before the season starts.
