How to Score a Game Using the Play Button in Baseball Blitz

The Play button gives scorers access to a wider range of game events that may not appear among the standard scoring controls. From here, you can record pitching mishaps, intentional walks, stolen-base attempts, and other situations as they happen on the field.

This guide focuses on the additional scoring options available through the Play menu.

While scoring a live game, stay on the field screen and tap the Play button located in the centre of the field.

The Play menu will open with the following options:

• Quick Actions
• Pitching Mishap
• Intentional Walk
• Base Stealing

Tap the option that matches the event you need to record.

From the Play button, tap Pitching Mishap.

A list of available pitching-related events will appear:

• Catcher’s Interference (CI)
• Passed Ball (PB)
• Wild Pitch (WP)
• Hit by Pitch (HBP)
• Balk

Tap the event that occurred during the game. Baseball Blitz will record the selected action and guide you through any additional steps required, such as updating a runner’s position.

Make sure you select the correct option, as each event affects the game record differently.

Click the Play button and tap Intentional Walk.

Baseball Blitz will record the intentional walk and update the field based on the current game situation.

Tap the Play button and select Base Stealing.

The Drag Runners screen will open, allowing you to record the runner’s attempt to advance.

Drag the runner from their current position to the base they attempted to reach.

Once the runner is placed at the destination, two options will appear:

• Safe
• Out

Tap the option that matches the result of the play.

Select the reason the runner reached the base safely:

• Stole Base (SB)
• Fielding Error (E)
• Defensive Indifference (DI)
• Other

If required, tap or drag the ball to the fielder involved in the play. This helps Baseball Blitz record the defensive involvement accurately.

After selecting the appropriate fielder, tap Done to complete the play.

After dragging the runner to the attempted base, tap Out.

Select the reason the runner was called out:

• Caught Stealing (CS)
• Offensive Interference (INT)
• Out on Appeal (AP)
• Other

Tap or drag the ball to the fielder who handled the play. If more than one defensive player was involved, select them in the order required by the scoring screen.

Once the fielding sequence is complete, tap Done. Baseball Blitz will record the out and update the game automatically.

The Play button helps you record situations that go beyond basic balls, strikes, fouls, and balls in play. By selecting the correct event and following the on-screen prompts, you can keep the game record accurate even when a less common play occurs.
