Chart their pitchers too, and every hitter gets a card. Today we chart only our pitchers. Add the same taps while we bat (pitch type, where it crossed, what happened), and each of our kids gets hot and cold spots. Scout gets the mirror image: where their batters get out. Pick the card that reads best at a glance. Numbers are made up.

Mason's card, three ways

Each square is a spot the pitch crossed; the dark box is the strike zone. Orange = he hits it, blue = he misses or makes an out there. The number is how many pitches he's seen there, so one or two doesn't pass for a trend.

Turned around: what Scout shows for their batter

Same card, from our pitchers' charting. Opposing kids are a team and a jersey number only, never a name.

Got him out: fastball up and in (3 of 4). Don't: changeup middle, 2 hits.

Ethan got him twice. Note from last game: "Bunts with a runner on 1st."
