A scoreboard pitch counter,
rebuilt for the dugout phone.
Tap Ball, Strike, or Foul. BSO dots, auto-walks, auto-strikeouts, and the lineup advances on its own — so the kid coaching first base can keep the book without a pencil.

Six places a browser pitch counter beats a clicker.
Anywhere a coach is keeping pitch counts on a phone in the dugout, the BSO display + lineup advance saves a spreadsheet at the end of the game.
Tracking the pitch limit
League rules cap pitches at 50, 65, 75 by age — the per-pitcher count makes it obvious when a kid is one batter from the rest day, no scribbled tally neededIn the dugout
Phone propped up between innings, BSO follows the umpire, swap the pitcher when the bullpen warms — the assistant coach can run the book one-handedBehind the fence
Same BSO, same three outs, same lineup logic — works for any league where the count and the order are the actual job of the scorekeeperAcross the weekend
Three games Saturday, three Sunday — open the multi-counter view and run a card per game so the totals do not collide between rounds Open multi-counter →Behind the mound
Side sessions, live BP, simulated innings — track total throws across the workout and call the kid off when the arm hits its numberWithout the app store
Volunteer coaches who do not want to install another sports app — open the page once, the game saves to the device, no account neededFour upgrades over a paper book.
A scorebook is a beautiful object. It does not auto-walk on four balls, it does not advance the lineup, it does not undo, and it does not survive the tipping coffee. This counter does all four.
BSO + auto-walk + auto-strikeout
Four balls auto-logs the walk and advances the order. Three strikes auto-logs the strikeout, advances the order, and adds an out. Foul on a 2-strike count stays at 2 strikes — the actual rule, not the code default.
Lineup advances itself
Walks, strikeouts, in-play, and field-outs all advance the batter. After three outs, sides switch and the inning increments. You never have to remember whose turn it is — the next at-bat is already on the screen.
Per-pitcher pitch count + swap
Every pitch counts against the current pitcher. Tap swap to bring in the bullpen — the new arm starts at zero, the at-bat continues with the same count, and the league pitch limit is now obvious for the new kid too.
Game log + 30 undos
Every at-bat is logged with the batter, the result, and the pitch count. Tap the wrong button — Undo rolls back the last action. Up to 30 steps so the inning behind the plate never goes off the rails.
Online pitch counter vs the alternatives.
A clicker, a paper scorebook, and a sports-tracking app all keep pitch counts. Each has a moment where they are the wrong tool for an assistant coach with one free hand.

Pitch counter questions.
What people ask before keeping the count in the browser — BSO, lineup, multiple pitchers, offline use.
Q.01 How does the BSO display work?
Tap Ball, Strike, or Foul after each pitch. The dots fill in just like the scoreboard. The counter automatically applies real-game rules — a foul on a 2-strike count does not become strike three, and four balls auto-walks the batter.
Q.02 Does the lineup advance for me?
Yes. Walks, strikeouts, in-play, and field-outs all advance to the next batter in the order. After three outs, sides switch and the inning advances. You never have to remember whose turn it is.
Q.03 Can I track multiple pitchers?
Tap the swap button next to the pitcher line. Enter the new number and name. The pitch count resets for the new arm, and the at-bat in progress continues from wherever the count was when the change happened.
Q.04 Is the game saved if I close the tab?
Yes. The full game state — count, outs, inning, lineups, pitcher pitch counts, and every at-bat in the log — saves to your device automatically. Reopen the page later and the game picks up where you left it.
Q.05 Can I use this for softball or Little League?
Yes. The BSO and three-out half-inning structure is the same in softball, Little League, and high-school ball. Pitch counts are a coach's actual tool for managing arms across the season, not just a curiosity.
Q.06 What if I tap the wrong button?
Hit Undo. The counter rolls back the last action — pitch, walk, strikeout, in-play, field-out, or pitcher change. Up to 30 steps of undo are kept, which is enough for any single inning the kid behind the plate is going to mis-call.
Q.07 Does it work without WiFi at the field?
Yes. After the page loads once, the counter runs entirely in your browser — no signal needed in a country park, a school field, or the back of a JV diamond. Add it to the home screen and it launches like an app.
Q.08 Is there a paid version with more features?
The browser-based pitch counter on this page is free. Saved game history across devices, season-long pitch-count reports, and exporting box scores are part of the paid tier — useful for travel coaches who need the data on Sunday night.
