A few of the words

SAVE
The save became an official MLB statistic in 1969, giving relief pitchers their own measure of success separate from the win.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
ERA
Earned Run Average — the pitcher's core number — divides earned runs allowed by innings pitched, then multiplies by nine. For a closer, keeping it under 3.00 is a badge of trust.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
STRIKEOUT
A strikeout is recorded as a 'K' in the scorebook, a tradition dating to Henry Chadwick's 19th-century scoring system, which used 'S' for sacrifice and saved 'K' for the strikeout's final swing.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

The Bullpen: a free large-print word search

Free large-print bullpen word search — relievers warming up, the closer waiting, and the skipper's slow walk to the mound.

About The Bullpen

The bullpen is where the game is often won or lost in silence before anyone notices. Pitchers pace, toss easy, then ramp up — gloves popping, breath settling — waiting for the phone or the signal from the dugout. When the skipper finally makes that slow walk to the mound, one hand raised toward the outfield fence, the crowd already knows who is coming.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last — the trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps — never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
