      Statistics & Official Scorer

      I am the senior team member that uses the Daktronics DakStats system to upload player and team statistics as well as in-game scoring to the scoreboards at CHS Field in real time for the St. Paul Saints. This includes teamwork with the official scorer as well as scoreboard operations staff to ensure correct statistics are uploaded. Sometimes this includes altering statistics before, after, or during games as well if there was a system error or a scoring change.Also spend time as the official scorer for games, requiring extensive knowledge of baseball rules and quick thinking/ critical decision-making skills.
