Turn on extra at-bat outcomes

Six outcomes are off when you start, and the recorder does say so: at the foot of the outcome grid there is a row reading "Missing an outcome? Turn on extras". That row is the whole answer. It opens the at-bat options screen already scrolled to the group that holds them, past the sixteen or so switches above it, and highlights that group for a second so you can see where you landed.

The group is headed Extra outcomes, with "Off by default. Turn on the ones your league uses." underneath it, and there are six switches in it. Out (OUT) is a plain out with no batted-ball detail — the one for an out you did not see, or do not want to pick a type for. Strikeout (Swinging) (KS) and Strikeout (Looking) (KL) split the plain Strikeout by how it ended. Foul Out (KF) is the one for a league where a foul with two strikes is strike three, and it counts as a strikeout. Dropped 3rd Strike (D3K) is the strikeout the batter reached first base on. Intentional Walk (IBB) is a walk the other side chose to give.

Switching an extra on changes only what the recorder offers you. The options screen says as much at the top — "This only changes what the recorder offers — your history and stats are never affected" — and it holds in both directions: nothing you have already recorded moves, and switching an option back off later never hides an at-bat recorded with it. The game screens, the box score, the play log and every stat always understand the full set of outcomes, and an at-bat saved as a dropped third strike still opens on that outcome when you edit it, whether or not the switch is still on.

The setting lives on your profile rather than on one device, so turning something on on the phone turns it on on the website too. It is yours alone: nobody else on your team sees their grid change, even on a game you are both recording into.

The dropped third strike is the one worth spelling out, because it is the one people ask about. It counts in the strikeout column, because the batter did strike out, and it puts the batter on first, so they can steal and they can score — but it earns no on-base credit, so your on-base percentage does not move, and no RBI is credited on it. The intentional walk is the opposite kind of case: it is a walk with a finer label, and it counts in the walk column, in on-base percentage and in your walk-to-strikeout ratio exactly as a plain walk does.

None of the six asks you where the ball went, since none of them is a batted ball — the field step is skipped for all six. The three strikeout variants and Intentional Walk save the moment you tap them, exactly as the plain Strikeout and Walk do, and Intentional Walk's confirmation offers Add RBI; on the phone Out asks about RBIs first, and a dropped third strike asks only whether the batter came round to score, because no RBI is credited on a strikeout.

If you already recorded something else because the outcome you wanted was not there — an error instead of a dropped third strike is the usual one — the at-bat can be fixed rather than re-recorded.
