Inserting a pinch hitter or new batter
A pinch hitter is a player who bats for another player and has not yet appeared in the game, offensively or defensively.
A new batter is a player who has already replaced someone on defense and is coming to bat for the first time.
To insert a pinch hitter press the J key. The Insert Pinch Hitter dialog will appear. BallScore will always select the next available slot underneath the starting player. You can change this slot but it is not recommended. Select the player who you want to use as a pinch hitter from the displayed roster list. Press Enter. A New Batter Marker (red line on the left side of a cell) will be placed at the appropriate cell on the scoresheet.
To insert a new batter press the G key. The Insert New Batter dialog will appear. BallScore will always select the next available slot underneath the starting player. You can change this slot but it is not recommended. Select the player who you want to use as a new batter from the displayed roster list. Select the position you want to appear in the lineup for the new batter. This selection does not affect where he played on defense. The defense is always set with the D key once a game starts. Press Enter. A New Batter Marker (red line on the left side of a cell) will be placed at the appropriate cell on the scoresheet.
