A backwards K means that person struck out looking, but a regular one means they swung.

A backward K signifies the batter has struck out looking (he didn't swing at the 3rd strike). The regular K means that the batter struck out swinging (he swung at the last pitch).

A K is short for strikeout....a backwards K is when the batter does not attempt to swing at the third strike...a regular K ...is when a batter swings and misses the third strike

It's to differentiate between a called strike three and strike out swinging. Also, to show that the batter got owned because he didn't even offer to swing at the pitch.

Backward K's indicate a player went down looking, versus regular K's that indicate he went down hacking.

One is a swinging strikeout and the other is a called 3rd strike looking. the reversed K is the looking strikeout.
