Number are assigned to each position for the purpose of scoring the game. Numbers are used as a kind of "shorthand" or abbreviation. The numbers assigned are as follows: # Pitcher # Catcher # First Baseman # Second Baseman # Third Baseman # Short Stop # Left Fielder # Center Fielder # Right Fielder
For example: If the Baseball is hit to the Left fielder and he catch's the ball for a putout the play is scored 7. A double play shortstop to the second baseman to the first baseman is scored 6-4-3 DP
