I know several high school teams that use some type of computer based or touchscreen scorebook. I would imagine most colleges use the same.

I've used both. Personally I prefer longhand, but it is certainly alot cleaner digitally. As for your question, I don't know the answer. I would guess that the official scorer does a book while the "gametrackers" are electronic (obviously).

Pretty sure that's how it's done.

Are there any good free apps out there? I like keeping a scorecard for games, but I'm cheap!

your average scorebook will run about $5 and has probably 30 to MAYBE 50 games. Or you can spend $10 one time for an app and do unlimited games and have it year after year. Unless you are so pathetic that you are doing a baseball scorecard on blank paper, in which case there is no helping your cheap arse

I've used the Gamechanger app on my cell phone. Takes a game or two to get really good with it, but I really like the app. I THINK it's free. I downloaded it a long time ago. Don't remember.

I just downloaded it and entered the roster. I definitely won't be doing it every game though.

I don't personally keep a book at the games but if you want to keep score on a broke college kid budget there is a link on the lsusports.net baseball page to "print a scoresheet" It's on the right side of the page.

I used this app to recreate the games from a scorebook when I was coaching high school. Greatest benefit vs. paper is calculating stats. The app does it all for you and allows you to email the stats to yourself for printing.

ETA: the ESPN iScore app
