Here is a compiled list of all sports we have created a how-to guide for. In time we will fill this list with all sports we offer.

• Baseball
  • Hitting
• Softball
  • Hitting

In order to score your hitting stats correctly, follow these instructions:

Fields for Entry:
PA = Plate Appearances - Enter the number of times the player was up at bat no matter what the outcome. (If a pinch hitting replaces a batter while they are at bat it will only count as a plate appearance for the pinch hitter unless the pinch hitter was put in with 2 strikes and they strikeout. In this case the plate appearance goes to the batter who had the 2 strike count. Also, if a runner makes the third out while a player is at bat, this plate appearance is not counted at this time. This batter will lead off the next inning and the plate appearance will be counted then.)
1B = Singles - Enter the number of singles the player had in the game.
2B = Doubles - Enter the number of doubles the player had in the game.
3B = Triples - Enter the number of triples the player had in the game.
HR = Home Runs - Enter the number of home runs the player had in the game.
R = Runs - Enter the number of runs the player scored in the game.
RBI = Runs Batted In - Enter the number of batters that scored because of your at-bat. (Do not include any runs that score because of a fielder's error unless they would have scored even if there wasn't an error on the play. Also do not count an RBI if the batter grounds into a double play.) Runs scored during a pitch that results in a passed ball should be credited as an RBI for the batter.
BB = Walks - Enter the number of walks the player had in the game.
HBP = Hit by Pitch - Enter the number of times the player was hit by a pitch while they were batting.
K = Strikeouts - Enter the number of times the player struck out during the game.
SB = Stolen Bases - Enter the number of successful stolen bases the player had during the game. (Do not include any bases taken on passed balls or anytime the defense strategically allows you to take a base. ex There are runners on first and third. Runner on first runs to second but the catcher doesn't throw because he is worried about the runner from third scoring. This is a defensive indifference and should not be counted as an SB.)
CS = Caught Stealing - Enter the number of times the player was thrown out while trying to steal a base.
SH = Sacrifice Hits - Enter the number of sacrifice bunts the player had in the game. (Any scenario where you bunt to advance a runner with less than two outs.)
SF = Sacrifice Flies - Enter the number of sacrifice flies the player had during the game. (A teammate must score on the sacrifice fly for it to count in this column.)
DI = Defensive Interference - Enter the number of times the player reached base because of catcher's interference or any other interference that automatically puts the batter on first base.
ROE = Reached on Error - Enter the number of times the player reached first base due to a fielding error.
FC = Fielder's Choice - Enter the number of times the player reached first base due to the defense electing to make an out elsewhere even though they would have gotten the player out if they tried. (Ask yourself if the player would have been out if there weren't any other people on base. This will also be a judgement call if they try to made an out elsewhere but don't get the ball there in time. If they had not tried to get the other baserunner out, would the batter have been out?)

Calculated Fields:
AB = At Bats - The equation is AB = PA - BB - HBP - SH - SF - DI
H = Hits - The equation is H = 1B + 2B + 3B + HR
AVG = Batting Average - The equation is AVG = (H/AB)
OBP = On Base Percentage - The equation is OBP = ((H + BB + HBP)/(AB + BB + HBP + SF))
SLG% = Slugging Percentage - The equation is SLG% = ((1B + (2*2B) + (3*3B) + (4*HR))/AB)
OPS = On Base Percentage + Slugging Percentage - The equation is OPS = OBP + SLG%

It's been a long time coming, but there is now a print view for stats across the site. We've taken all of the colors out of the site for this view and show only the stats in a bare table.

The links can be found around the site and they look like the following:

Here is a sample view of what the print view looks like:

When it comes to Baseball ERAs there seems to be a lot of confusion around how to calculate the statistic if your league does not use 9 inning games. The ERA statistic is defined as follows:

ERA = 9 x (Earned Runs Allowed/Innings Pitched)

Many people believe that the 9 is actually the number of innings per game. MLB uses 9 innings, therefore the statistic shows you how many earned runs a pitcher would give up on average if they pitched a full game. This does not hold true for leagues that use 6 or 7 innings per game.

An ERA for Little League should be comparable to an ERA for Major League Baseball. Let's look at an example...

A pitcher pitches 9 full 6 inning games (54 Innings) and lets say this pitcher lets up 9 earned runs across those 9 games. If we use a 9 in the ERA equation, the pitcher's ERA is 1.50. If we use 6 in the ERA equation, the pitcher's ERA is 1.00.

When you look at the example above it shows that this statistic would return different values if you allowed people to enter in different inning's per game. The ERA statistic is defined with a 9 so that any ERA can be compared directly against another without wondering what "inning's per game" they used to compute it.

Softball is a different story because the highest softball league in the United States uses a 7 instead of a 9. Since most softball leagues use 7 innings, TomorrowsPro has followed the trend for this sport and our softball ERA is defined as follows:

ERA (Softball) = 7 x (Earned Runs Allowed/Innings Pitched)

With all this being said we are looking into adding ERA6 and ERA7 categories in the future.
