When a batter reaches 2 strikes, and if first base is open or there are 2 outs, a dropped 3rd strike option is added to the bottom of the pitch menu within the scorekeeping mode of GameChanger.
Scoring Steps
To score a dropped third strike follow these steps:
- Tap Dropped 3rd Strike.
- Select Swinging or Looking.
- Select Safe on First (WP), Safe on First (PB), or Batter Out at First.*
Please note that the option is only available in situations where it is possible (e.g. Two strike count).
*According to baseball rules, there cannot be both a dropped third strike and throwing/fielding error if the runner only advances to first base. The runner advanced to first because of the dropped third strike. You are not able to also apply an error to that play. If the runner advances to second because of an error, you will be able to record that in the app.
