Baseball Sport Features
Beyond terminology, the Baseball plugin adds three baseball-specific behaviours: partial-inning notation conversion, separate Batting and Pitching performance sections, and adjusted squad-number display.
Partial innings notation
Innings pitched are typically recorded with a special decimal notation:
.1means one out (one-third of an inning).2means two outs (two-thirds of an inning).0means a complete inning
The plugin converts these on the fly when totalling statistics. So 2.1 + 1.2 = 4.0 (rather than 4.1 from naïve decimal addition). Conversion is applied through:
sportspress_event_performance_add_value— when summing event totalssportspress_event_performance_table_total_value— when displaying totals in tablessportspress_player_performance_add_value— when summing across a player's careersportspress_player_performance_table_placeholderandsportspress_player_performance_table_placeholders— when rendering placeholder values
To enable partial-innings conversion on a custom performance type:
Go to SportsPress → Performance and edit the performance post.
In the meta box, tick the Partial Innings checkbox.
Update.
The sp_partial_innings post meta value is what the filter callbacks check.
Batting vs Pitching sections
The performance entry interface is split into two sections corresponding to baseball's offensive (batting) and defensive (pitching) statistics. Each section is configured independently at SportsPress → Configure so you can record batting and pitching stats with their own metric sets.
Squad-number display also differs between the sections: the plugin returns different defaults via sportspress_event_performance_default_squad_number and selectively hides batting-order numbers in pitching contexts via sportspress_event_performance_show_numbers (priority 20).
Adjusted empty-result string
The plugin filters sportspress_event_empty_result_string so that absence of a result for a player renders consistently with baseball box-score conventions (e.g. blank rather than 0).
Customising the partial-innings logic
If your league records partial innings with a different convention (e.g. .3 for one-third), you can override the conversion by registering a higher-priority filter on sportspress_event_performance_add_value and returning your own conversion. The plugin's logic is in the add_value and total_value methods in the main plugin file.
