Game Info

Arranged along the top is basic information about the game:

Location - the home team's ballpark
Start Time - measured from when you created the game
Stop Time - for completed games
Mini-field - a quick view of occupied bases
Home/Away Toggle - The scorecard automatically shows the lineup for the team currently at bat, but you can use the Home/Away toggle to switch between them. The toggle tells you the score and who's up (marked by ●)

Scorecard

The body of the scorecard is arranged in typical fashion, with a row for each spot in the batting order and a column for each inning. A box therefore represents what happened for that spot in that inning.

Lineup

The scorecard lists the players currently in each spot in the lineup on the left of each row. The player up to bat is marked by ●. If you substituted a player in that spot, the scorecard grays and crosses out the previous player (e.g. Player 01). The current player is further marked with the inning they entered the game.

Inning Boxes

The inning numbers run along the top of the scorecard, with the current inning marked by ●. Below the numbers are the inning boxes noted above. A box holds the following information:

Count - balls and strikes
Advancement - thick lines show the player's progress around the base paths
Score - the diamond gets filled in if the player scores
Play Result - the play as you scored it

Result of the Play	Play Position	Example Result	Notes
Batter reached base	Outside the diamond along the last basepath the batter ran	Walk	For home runs, the play also goes in the middle of the diamond
Batter out	Middle of the diamond.	Line out to center	If many fielders were involved, not all of their numbers may fit within the box
Runner advanced	Outside the diamond along the last basepath the player ran	Error by the pitcher on a pickoff attempt	If the runner advanced on e.g. a hit, their progress is indicated but the batter's inning box holds the play
Runner out	Middle of the diamond. Also, the player's advancement ends with a dot in the middle of the next basepath	Caught Stealing	If many fielders were involved, not all of their numbers may fit within the box

Once a half-inning is complete, any spots in the order that did not come up that inning are greyed out

Should a team bat around in an inning, SlickScore inserts an inning box beneath the first for each spot that bats again

If a game runs to extra innings, the inning boxes shrink to fit the space

Player Stats

The scorecard lists some in-game stats for each player to the right of the inning boxes, including at-bats (AB), runs (R), hits (H), and runs batted in (RBI). These are counted according to the official scoring rules, so for example a walk does not count as an at-bat, while runs scoring due to errors do not affect RBI.

Totals

Inning totals for runs, hits, errors, and runners left on base run below the boxes. Game totals for the same items are at the right. Note that errors go with the team that committed them

Pitching Stats

The bottom of the scorecard features in-progress numbers for each pitcher in the game:

IP - innings pitched in the format [Full Innings].[Outs], so 5.1 means 5 innings and one out in the 6th. A number like 5+ indicates the pitcher went 5 innings and threw at least one pitch in the 6th, but recorded no outs
H - hits allowed
R - runs allowed
ER - earned runs allowed
BB - walks including intentional walks given up
K - strikeouts, both swinging and looking, recorded
HB - hit batsmen
BK - balks
WP - wild pitches

In addition, when the game is complete, SlickScore indicates the winning (W) and losing (L) pitchers, as well as pitchers earning a save (S) or a hold (H).

The rules for earned runs and some other stats can be abstruse, and SlickScore may not always get them right

Likewise, the rules for awarding wins etc. are not always clear, and in some odd cases may be incorrectly applied. In other words, don't rely on them for your fantasy picks!

Holds are not official statistics, but are given to pitchers who would have earned a save if they had finished the game
