2 (catcher) to 5 (third baseman) to 6 (shortstop covering second) to 3 (first baseman)
What does 2-5-6-3 represent??
when keeping box scores a 2-5-6-3 lets someone that is reading it know what happend in the play. each number represents a defensive position. 2 = catcher, 5= third, 6 = short stop, 3 = first baseman. so if you know there was three outs made this play and the order of people involved in the play.. you can picture how it went down without watching video/radio.
Scoring, in baseball, is done using numbers to represent the defensive posistions. I don’t know the sequence off the top of my head. I think the catcher is 2 and then threw to the third basemen, who was 5, etc.
