Abstract

In physical education, it is important for students to learn how to observe, record, and analyze their activities. Ryukoku University Baseball Team developed a customized scouting chart and records the type and course of every individual pitch thrown by all the pitchers in the team and their rivals. However, it is not easy to record the pitching data by using pens and paper. To solve this problem, we developed an input support system for customized scouting charts of baseball games in Unity and C#. In preliminary experiments, our system enables users to create pitch combination records easily and improves the readability of them.
