I'm charting my 11 year old's pitching and was told I don't need to "chart" foul balls, that any "hit" ball is charted as a strike credit. For example, a batter gets to 0-2 then fouls the next 4 pitches. The chart would show pitches 1 thru 6 to be strikes. Is this right?

When counting Balls and Strikes for pitch counts, yes, but once a batter has two strikes, fouls are pretty much a moot point from a hitters perspective

after and 0-2 count u only need the chart balls or the last strike not foul balls Report It
