  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • 1. Intro to Scorekeeping
    1. Intro To Scorekeeping The following terms will be used on this site: Cell: The term cell refers to the square in which the player’s at-bat is recorded. In this illustration, the cell is the box where the diagram is drawn. Scorecard, Scorebook: Will be used interchangeably and refer to the sheet that records the player and scoring information during a baseball game. Scorekeeper: Refers to someone on a team that keeps the score for the purposes of the team. Official Scorer: The designated person whose scorekeeping is considered the official record of the game. The Official Scorer is not a member of either team. Baseball’s Defensive Positions To “keep score” of a baseball game it is essential to know the defensive positions and their shorthand representation. For example, the number “1” is used to refer to the pitcher (P). NOTE : In the younger levels of youth baseball leagues 10 defensive players are used. This 10 th position is know as the Short Center Fielder (SC) and is positioned between second base and the second baseman, on the beginning of the outfield grass. The Short Center Fielder bats and can be placed anywhere in the batting lineup. Defensive Positions, Numbers & Abbreviations Position Number Defensive Position Position Abbrev. 1 Pitcher P 2 Catcher C 3 First Baseman 1B 4 Second Baseman 2B 5 Third Baseman 3B 6 Short Stop SS 7 Left Fielder LF 8 Center Fielder CF 9 Right Fielder RF 10 Short Center Fielder SC The illustration below shows the defensive position for the defense. Notice the short center fielder is illustrated for those that are scoring youth league games.

  • Scorekeeper's Guide
    SCOREKEEPER’S GUIDE INTRODUCTION Thank you for agreeing to serve as the scorekeeper for your daughter’s team. This guide has been created to help team scorekeepers understand the basic requirements of the official scorekeeper, to learn the elements of scorekeeping, and to serve as a reference/refresher during games. This guide is not intended to describe, and does not describe, all possible aspects of softball statistics and scoring. THE ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OFFICIAL SCOREKEEPER GAME PROCEDURES When you are the official scorekeeper, you should perform the following procedures: BEFORE THE GAME 1) Arrive at the field at least fifteen(15) minutes before the game. 2) Bring pencils with erasers. Every scorekeeper makes mistakes, no matter how much experience he/she has. Using a pen asks for a mess. Also, if you draw lines for hit locations, it is helpful to use a red pencil to record runs scored. 3) Get the appropriate scorebook from your manager for the game you are scoring 4) Get a line-up card from the coach of each team. 5) Fill in the line-up information in the next available blank pages in the scorebook. If a player arrives late, she is added to the end of the batting line-up. You may, but need not, record defensive positions if the coach lists them. 6) Fill in the other information about the game – home team, visiting team, game location, etc. 7) Find the umpire when he/she arrives. Introduce yourself and let him/her know where you will be sitting. You should sit somewhere near home plate.

  • Scoring a Ball Game
    Scoring a Ball Game Player Positions A baseball game is scored by using a special “shorthand,” a combination of letters, numbers and hand-drawn lines. First, fill out the the lineup with the players’ names, uniform numbers, and position. Next, sit back and watch the game. Look at the partial scorecard below. By reading the position numbers, you’ll see that the center fielder, 2nd baseman, catcher, and right fielder are the players who batted in this inning. This scorecard, like others, provides a diamond to represent the playing field. Smith singles through the middle infield. A line is drawn from home through the infield to show the path of the ball. Another line is drawn from home to first. Lines are used to show the st (1) Pitcher (2) Catcher (3) 1 Baseman runners progress around the base path. A “1B” is written (4) 2nd Baseman (5) 3rd Baseman (6) Shortstop (7) Left Fielder (8) Center Fielder (9) Right Fielder along the first base line to show tha Smith hit a single. (DH) Designated Hitter Lawson strikes out. “K” is used to show the strikeout and the out number is written in the corner and circled. Scoring Abbreviations Henry is up next. During his time at bat Smith steals second. A line in Smith’s scorebox is drawn from first to second. 1B Single “SB17” is written to show that he stole second while Henry was 2B Double at bat.

Abstract In sports, Play Diagrams are the standard way to represent and convey information. They are widely used by coaches, managers, journalists and fans in general. There are situations where diagrams may be hard to understand, for example, when several actions are packed in a certain region of the field or there are just too many actions to be transformed in a clear depiction of the play. The representation of how actions develop through time, in particular, may be hardly achieved on such diagrams. The time, and the relationship among the actions of the players through time, is critical on the depiction of complex plays. In this context, we present a study on how player actions may be clearly depicted on 2D diagrams. The study is focused on Baseball plays, a sport where diagrams are heavily used to summarize the actions of the players. We propose a new and simple approach to represent spatiotemporal information in the form of a timeline. We designed our visualization with a requirement driven approach, conducting interviews and fulfilling the needs of baseball experts and expert-fans.
