what does it mean when appeared on baseball score board for each player??

Question

Hi,
when a batter on board, usually there is a score bar showing how he did for the previous innings, they are shown like "reversed K", "F7" things like that, what does it mean?? thank you!!

Answer 1

Those are how plays are "scored" in a baseball game. For example, the letter "K" is used to indicate a strikeout, while the "F7" is a way of showing that the batter hit a flyball out (F) to the "7" defensive player, which is the leftfielder.

Here's a really brief and basic look at how games are scored:

Answer 2

K=strikeout swinging
Backwards K=strikeout looking
F#=Fly Out to Position # (pitcher is 1, catcher is 2, 1st-3rd base are 3-5, ss is 6, Lf-Rf are 7,8 and 9.)

there are quite a few combinations for scoring a play. if the batter grounds the ball to ss, he throws to the 2nd baseman who then throws to the first baseman then the play would be called a 6-4-3 double play. if the batter grounded it to first then it would be scored 3u,the u is for unassisted. if he lined it to 3rd base but it hit his glove and the batter reached then it would be called E-5, meaning Error by position #5, 3rd base. a walk would be BB for base on balls. thats pretty much the basics unless im forgetting something.

Answer 3

reversed K means struck out looking, in F7, the F means fly out and the number means what position it was hit to. in this case 7 is left field

Answer 4

these symbols are used when scoring the game. The "K" is a strikeout and "F7" is a fly out to Left field. "F8" would be a fly out to center field. "1B" would be a single, and on it goes. You can go on the Internet and learn how to score a game.
