game changer is very good for pitch counts and hitting stats like how many pitches do they see after 2 strikes. some stuff is almost impossible to see with standard book.
A few times a season you get one of those WTF plays with the ball going all over the place and seems like 5 fielders end up touching the ball and eventually an out is made somewhere. My scoring in gamechanger would be "fielders choice, out at 3rd"....Gamechanger doesn't have a lot of options. If a player is called out advancing from 3rd to home, you have 4 choices: Caught Stealing, Offensive Interference, Out on Appeal, & Other. For the advancing players, you have Stole Base, Defensive Indifference, Fielding Error & Other.
You have to take it for what it is. Understand who is doing the scoring and take it from there. I like it for Strike % and some other pitching stats.
We made it through an entire year of 10U with zero “reached on errors”. Literally everything that didn’t result in an out was ruled a hit. Sad thing was - we still had a player bat 0.000.
"Player B caught stealing home, catcher, Player C steals 3rd, Player D steals 2nd " - Player B is one of mine. She was most certainly not "stealing home." This play was a wild pitch/passed ball and she was caught trying to advance. And, of course, C and D didn't actually steal the bases on the play. They just advanced on the out.
Same thing in 10U, paper book, no errors. It was rec, but I believe I still had 2 or 3 girls that hit .000We did "no errors" in 10U rec (paper score book, info only for coaches of our team). We almost had a .000 batter, too. Her dad (one of the ACs) cried when his DD got her very first hit in the final game of the year.
Player B was most definitely caught stealing. How else would you score it?
The other 2, I would have given an error, assigned to the P or C based on whether it was a passed ball or wild pitch.
