FOR THE PERSON KEEPING THE OFFICIAL BOOK
High school books settle real questions: pitch count eligibility, all-conference stats, who actually drove in that run. The book has to be right, and it has to still exist in May.

Most high school games are seven innings, most states enforce pitch count rest rules, and end-of-season honors get decided partly on the numbers in somebody's book. Whether you are the team manager, the coach's designated scorekeeper, or the parent who does it well enough that the coach stopped asking anyone else, the job is the same: accurate, legible, recoverable.
Start the game at 7 innings to match the high school format, and add extras when a rivalry game refuses to end.
Track each pitcher's line through the game. State pitch count rules decide who can throw Thursday, and the book is the record.
Hits and at-bats tally themselves across the season. When all-conference ballots go out, the numbers are ready.
Courtesy runners, pinch hitters, the sophomore who enters in the fifth. Add subs mid-game with the inning they entered.
It happens every spring: the senior manager graduates, or the parent who always did it has a work conflict, and now it is you. The notation is learnable in an afternoon. Start with how to use a baseball scorebook, keep the symbols reference open in another tab for the first few games, and score what you are sure of.
The one non-negotiable: record every pitcher change and keep the pitching lines current. Batting stats can be reconstructed from a messy book. Eligibility disputes cannot.
Free to start. Score one scrimmage with it and see if it earns the varsity job.
