Yeah, I score our HS games and keep stats. It never fails that one will ask what her average is and I say .286 they're shocked. Errors and fielders choice don't count as hits.
For pitching it does break down ERA/7, but would be nice to see K/7, BB/7, etc.
I am always amazed at how much higher a players batting average becomes when their mom or dad are keeping the stats......I would bet it is worth .100-.150!
Seems like it would be similar to tracking switch-hitters LH and RH stats separately and combined.I understand slapping is just a style of hitting and it would work into an average just as "regular" hitting would but ive had a few requests for separate stats based just on that (I assume so they can break down whats working for them) and then in the end a totaled average.
That does give me an idea of how to break down the slap hitting within the app though so thanks.

I couldn't find a list of the 90+ stats tracked on iTunes or your web site. Where can I see a list?
Spray charts don't look feasible, so tracking types of batted balls (e.g. bunt, ground, pop-up, fly, line drive) would be useful both for hitting and pitching stats.
Pick offs for fielding?
TouchMint....I have used the baseball app for my 2 DD's and found it to be useful for HS ball and scrimmages. HS coach isn't good about sharing stats plus most of the time he has one of the girls who is sitting the bench keep the book, so accuracy is questionable.
One thing I have noticed is that when I put down a 2B, 3B, or HR it doesn't automatically count it as a hit and you have to remember to go in and add a hit as well. Not a huge issue, but took me a game or two to figure out. It does say that in the "info" section, but didn't find that until later.

This is much better than writing it down or trying to remember what your DD did. The spray chart idea is a good one for both the hitters and pitchers.
Not trying to derail your post, but something I haven't found is a good electronic solution for tracking/charting pitches - location, type of pitch, sequence, etc. We started pitch charting with our travel team and I created a manual sheet to do this. I know iScore has this capability, but its too hard to keep track of the game and the pitch info, so in my mind it needs to be a separate tool. Something like you baseball stats app that is designed for the individual and is pretty simple would be great for this.
