New Baseball Scoring NBA Scoring System for Practice Games Baseball Scoring Real Slug fests It is fun when kids go home and tell their moms and dads that they won their baseball scrimmage game today 96 to 89, more like an NBA game than a baseball game. In an effort to spice up baseball practice, coaches can change up the baseball scoring with this NBA style baseball scoring. Low scoring pitching duels are often exciting for baseball fans, but so are games that are up in the hundreds of points, at least for a baseball game or two.

Innovative Baseball Scoring System

Here we go get your math skills ready, and as mentioned, coaches can be creative with their own scoring system and experiment with it. Youth players will get a kick out of it. Additionally, coaches can pitch these games, if desired, for fast moving action or regular team pitchers can pitch. As with all baseball scrimmage games, starting batters with a 2 and 1 count is not a bad idea to speed games along. All base hits are the value of the hit, so singles are one point, doubles two and so on. Stolen bases are a point for the offense and a correctly executed hit and run gets the offense three points. Runs scored are worth 3 points, as are runs batted in. Therefore, an RBI double nets the offense eight points, two for the double and three each for the run and RBI. As you can see, points may add up quickly, creating some crazy high scores and excitement for players and teams.
