The use of the last letter of Struck instead of the first to denote a strikeout dates back to when Henry Chadwick developed the box score in the late 1850's. Chadwick often used the last letter instead of the first, especially if he considered that letter to be the more prominent one in the word. Chadwick said 'the letter K in struck is easier to remember in connection with the word, than S.' He also used L for Foul and D for Catch on Bound. Only the K survived into the 20th Century. Source: Paul Dickson's The New Dickson Baseball Dictionary and Alan Schwarz's The Numbers Game. The common view that the K was used because the S was taken (by Sacrifice, Stolen Base, or Single) appears to be erroneous.

Quick Answer. The backwards 'K' is used to represent a strikeout when the batter does not swing at the final strike, used to differentiate between types of outs. The batter is considered to have 'been caught looking,' instead.

Other answers from the community: • 'K' was chosen to represent Struck, because S was already taken to mean Stolen base. The K and S are both still used today. • 'K' is a Strike • The symbol 'K' is used because it is made with 3 strokes of the pencil, symbolizing the 3 strikes for the strikeout. Scorekeepers use a backward K (or a KL, or Kc) when a batter strikes out looking/called 3rd strike.

• K stands for 'struck'. Back in the old days, scorekeepers used letters for symbols, K is the only one that we still use today. • Fyi, to help keep things clear in record keeping, a backwards k is used if the player struck out looking. • I always thought that K was short for K.O. Like knock out. • Back in the day, score keeping was done entirely with letters, no numbers (Double was D, not 2B).
