Fielding Logger

The Fielding Logger records defensive plays — who fielded the ball, how, and the result. This data drives fielding percentage, zone tendency charts, and throwing accuracy analytics.

How Fielder Selection Works

When a lineup is confirmed with defensive assignments, tapping a position on the field diagram automatically selects the player assigned to that position. No manual player selection is needed — simply tap the position, then log the play.

Without a confirmed lineup, select the fielder manually from the player selector at the top, then tap a position to confirm.

Logging a Fielding Play

1. Tap the position on the field diagram — the assigned fielder is highlighted automatically
2. Select the ball type — how the ball arrived
3. Select the fielding zone — where relative to the player the ball was hit
4. Select Catch or Error for the fielding result
5. If a throw was made select the throw zone and throw result
6. Toggle Double Play if applicable
7. Tap OUT at the bottom to record the out and save the play

Ball Types

Type	Description
Ground Ball	Ball hit on the ground

Fielding Zones

The fielding zone grid shows 9 positions relative to the fielder:

Behind Left | Behind | Behind Right
Left        | Player | Right
Front Left  | Front  | Front Right

Select where the ball was relative to the fielder when they fielded it.

Throw Zones

The throw zone grid shows 9 directional zones for the throw:

High Left | High  | High Right
Left      | Player| Right
Low Left  | Low   | Low Right

Select the direction and height of the throw.

OUT Button

The OUT button appears at the bottom of the form after a position is selected. Tap it after recording the field and throw details. This saves the play and increments the out count. If Double Play is toggled the button shows DOUBLE PLAY ✓✓ and two outs are recorded.

Completing the field and throw entries first ensures complete data before saving.

Special Plays

Double Play (DP) — toggle before tapping OUT to mark the play as a double play. Two outs are recorded.

Passed Ball (PB) — for catchers only. Appears in the field action options for the C position. Records a passed ball and counts as an error in the catcher's fielding percentage.

Automatic Navigation

When a pitch is logged as Hit in Play in the Pitching Logger the app automatically navigates to the Fielding Logger. After logging the fielding play return to the Game Hub manually — multiple fielding plays can result from one ball in play.
