Some of my coaching buddies finally got me to release some of my chart designs that I have used over the years. Let me know what you think.

I would love to let you know what I think but they are not big enough to give you my opinion. Let me know we I can get a better view in order to help you out.
If you click on the quality at bat tab in the menu then you can see everything in detail. The others are on there way.
Boom, nothing at all wrong with the charts. IMHO I think the challenge you might experience is the manual nature of the charts. Unless you have a very knowledgeable score keeper I would see a requirement for someone to keep the game book and someone else to execute the charting unless you do it post game which then relies on someone else's perspective or memory. The tablet based scoring programs (like iScore) provide the same level of information from a single series of inputs. and the charting is done on request by individual player for the season or by game
Although they take some time to learn once you are up to speed adding advances information becomes a part of the scorekeeping process.
You are right it does take manual labor to do the charts. I normally use a manager, players girlfriend, or bench player to do them. Most of it is straight forward after the first time they do it plus they normally sit in the dug out or by the score keeper.
I love iScore and use it as my score book. The problem is that players need the charts while the game if fresh in their head and you need to make it a game so they will want to learn. I have handed players printouts from iScore and they just stair at them blankly. With this system they study it more to gain more points in the team game. These are used more as a learning experience than anything else.
Also I have updated the site with more charts and a more close up view of them.

My son is serving as a "student assistant" (volunteer coach) for the JuCo he once played for. One of his game duties is to chart the hits for each player. Either one of the coaches takes care if the normal scorebook duties.
