a regular K is when the batter swung at the 3rd strike
a backwards K is when the batter watched the 3rd strike go by.

A regular forwards 'K' would indicate a strikeout by swinging. A backwards 'K' indicates a strikeout without swinging or looking.

A pitcher who gets a batter out on a called third strike is sometimes awarded a "backwards K", where the letter K is displayed in reverse.

Regular K is a strike out swinging. Backwards K is a called third strike. Different scorekeepers mark it differently...sometimes KC or CK.

i do no longer understand the actual answer and in simple terms starring this question via fact i'm fascinated in it, yet I extremely have 2 theories why... one, via fact the conventional ok shows spectacular out a suited-exceeded batter, mutually as the backwards ok shows spectacular out a left-exceeded batter. the 2d theory is maximum possibly incorrect and that i would be shocked if it wasn't, yet i exploit to think of it advance into via fact they did no longer decide for to place 3 popular ok's mutually element-via-element-via-element for glaring motives. Oh, guess i advance into incorrect and found out some thing new on the instant.

front K means went down looking, did not swing backwards K means he swung and missed just another way to keep stats
