Arizona Scoreboards: Baseball and Basketball Level at 30 Records Each

Baseball and basketball are level in Arizona. Our data, from the Arizona sales and shipping record, shows 71 records across 42 cities and towns, with baseball at 30 and basketball at 30. Together the two sports hold most of the state's record. Football trails at 6, soccer at 4 and lacrosse at 1. By units shipped, Arizona ranks #34 of 50 states.

The two sports buy differently. Before you compare models, note where your scoreboard will go and how far away its farthest reader will sit. Then ask the Electro-Mech team for the spec sheet of the model that matches that site.

Below, you will find what each leading model shows according to its own spec sheet, how the new video display at Chase Field compares with a school scoreboard, and which NFHS rules to check before you order.

Why does baseball keep pace with basketball in Arizona?

Arizona plays organized baseball at every level, from district middle school leagues to national youth championships, so outdoor diamonds need scoreboards as often as indoor gyms do.

Before you treat the tie as a quirk, check four things about your own program:

• Which season your baseball or softball games fall in, fall or spring.
• Whether your field hosts tournament play beyond your own schedule.
• How far the farthest seat sits from where the scoreboard will stand.
• Whether the same operator also runs your gym scoreboard.

According to High School on SI, Arizona "boasts some of the nation's most elite prep baseball talent each season." The same coverage reports that more than 100 high school baseball standouts could have their names called in a single draft weekend. Bamboo Productions Sports describes 2026 title hunts across the AIA's 6A, 5A and 4A divisions, with Division I commits on contending rosters and a 2025 6A championship game decided 10-0.

The depth starts young. One Arizona district runs its middle level K8 baseball and softball in the fall, with tryouts from Aug. 31 to Sept. 4, and moves basketball and soccer to the spring. At the top end, USA Baseball holds its 14U, 15U, 16U and 17U National Team Championships in Arizona in 2026 at MLB spring training facilities in the Greater Phoenix area.

Across 5 sources, from a district calendar to a national championship schedule, baseball shows up at every age. The common assumption is that a state's scoreboard orders follow its gyms. Ask which teams and age groups will play on your field before you choose a model. Our data from the Arizona sales and shipping record covers orders from 2000 to 2025, so the tie is a count across that whole span.

Baseball demand in Arizona is not a side line. The research section below walks through these findings. Plan for both. If your project covers indoor and outdoor venues, compare the indoor side on our basketball scoreboards page before you settle the outdoor order.

Which indoor scoreboards lead the Arizona record, and how do they differ?

The LX2655 leads our Arizona record with 10 records and the LX2350 follows with 9, out of 34 distinct models counted by their LX equivalent.

Both are indoor basketball scoreboards. Below them, no model in the state passes 5 records. Variants of one model, such as 2350, 2350-C and LX2350, count as that one model, so the lead is not split across part numbers.

The two share a layout core. Our data, from the LX2655 spec sheet, gives Guest Team Points, Home Team Points and the Period Clock 12-inch digits, puts every other digit at 9 inches, and sizes the Bonus and Possession indicators at 3 inches. The LX2350 spec sheet gives the same 12-inch Points and Period Clock, a 9-inch Period digit and the same 3-inch indicators. Both use amber, red and green LEDs.

The real difference is the lower half. The LX2655 carries removable caption plates along the bottom, so you can relabel that half for volleyball games or wrestling matches, and its model page calls it Electro-Mech's most popular basketball model. The LX2350 is the slimmer cabinet; its model page notes that the uncluttered layout does not look jumbled when you add ID panels for sponsors.

Choose by the gym's calendar. One gym hosting basketball, volleyball and wrestling points to the LX2655. A gym where sponsor panels matter more points to the LX2350.

Arizona school basketball runs under the AIA's own basketball rules, set out as Article 22 in a 2018 copy hosted by the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind. Confirm what your games require before you settle the layout. Both spec sheets and the owner's manuals are on our scoreboard manuals page.

What options can you add around an outdoor baseball scoreboard?

Sound, video and identity panels sit on the option list for the LX1050, LX1060 and LX1341, so one outdoor scoreboard order can cover a fuller display package.

Our data, from the LX1060 spec sheet, lists Stadium Sound System packages and full color video and other electronic display panels as optional equipment. The LX1050 and LX1341 spec sheets list the same two options. ID panels go further. All three spec sheets offer extended configurations with ID panels built into the left or right side of the scoreboard cabinet.

Video is an option, not a replacement. A school that adds a video panel keeps the fixed digits that players and officials read during the game. I would order the scoreboard for the game first, then add video or sound around it.

The Arizona sales and shipping record counts models, so it does not show which of these options buyers added. Ask about each option when you request a quote, and name the model it attaches to. The same three spec sheets list toll free technical support via phone and online for the life of the product.

Which outdoor baseball scoreboards appear most in the Arizona record?

Outdoor baseball buying in Arizona spreads across several models, led by the LX1050 with 5 records and the LX1060 and LX1341 with 3 records each.

Decide first whether your field calls for a compact cabinet or a full-size one. Then ask which of the three cabinets below suits the site you have. The table below sets the three side by side.

The LX1050 is the compact option. Our data, from the LX1050 spec sheet, puts the cabinet at 6 ft x 3 ft and 78 lb, with 15-inch digits, 4-1/2 inch captions, 3-inch indicators and a draw of 0.8 amps. The LX1050 model page recommends it only where the viewing distance stays under 250 feet, because its captions are short. Optional ID panels can extend the LX1050 on either side, above or below.

The LX1060 and LX1341 share a 10 ft x 5 ft cabinet. Both carry 18-inch digits and 4-inch indicators. Our data, from the LX1060 spec sheet, lists 160 lb, 7-inch captions and 1.1 amps, rising to 2.4 amps on the LX1060-ETN with Electronic Team Names. The LX1060 model page traces its layout to the electro-mechanical scoreboards Electro-Mech built in the 1960s, operated from the MM style console. The LX1341 spec sheet lists 170 lb, two caption heights of 7 and 5 inches, and 1.6 amps.

Viewing distance is the first filter. Past 250 feet, the LX1050 sits outside its recommended range. Between the two larger models, caption rows and amperage differ, so compare both spec sheets line by line. All three ship with a simplified 15-key control console as standard. If the same complex also hosts soccer, the soccer scoreboards page lists outdoor models built for that field.

Keep your quote request short. Name the model first. Our data, from the LX1050 and LX1060 spec sheets, shows both share extruded aluminum framing, conformal-coated circuits and 18 standard paint colors, so the choices below are what you actually decide.

Model:        LX1060 or LX1060-ETN
Digit color:  amber or red
Paint color:  one of 18 standard colors
Control:      ScoreLink Wireless RF, or data cable up to 1,000 ft
ID panels:    above, below, or none

Fill in every line. A blank line means a follow-up call.

Do Arizona schools need a giant video scoreboard like the one at Chase Field?

Not at first. A school scoreboard's first job is accurate score and time for players and officials, and the models leading the Arizona record are fixed-digit LED scoreboards built for that.

The five models at the top of our Arizona sales and shipping record are fixed-digit LED scoreboards, far from the scoreboard news Arizona fans actually hear about. Most of that news comes from the major-league ballpark in downtown Phoenix.

During the offseason before the 2026 season, the Arizona Diamondbacks installed a new scoreboard at Chase Field. Phoenix Business Journal reporter Brandon Brown described it as the "largest video display in Arizona" and "more than 50% larger than the previous scoreboard," as Sports Business Journal reported on March 18, 2026. Display growth at Arizona's pro venues is not new either. In 2022, the state's sports tourism pitch pointed to a downtown Phoenix arena whose 2021 renovation added an HD scoreboard billed as six times larger than the one before it.

Fans did not judge the Chase Field upgrade on size alone. In a January 2026 thread on the r/azdiamondbacks Reddit forum, several commenters said the out-of-town scoreboards in left and right field had been removed, along with a stadium clock. One wrote, "I want the out of town scoreboards back." Another asked, "I can haz clock again?"

Fans noticed the missing clock first. Score and time are what people read. At a major-league park, the video display sits on top of that basic job rather than replacing it, and the complaints show what happens when the basic readouts go missing.

For your own field or gym, the order of questions stays the same at any level:

• Can players and officials read the score, time and game situation from where they stand?
• Can spectators in the farthest seats read the same information?
• Once those two answers are yes, does the venue want video as a next step?

Video is a real option for a school or community venue, and some will add it. The sales and shipping record shows which scoreboards Arizona buyers ordered most, and it does not say whether any of those venues later added a video display. Start with a scoreboard that keeps the count right, then size any video around it.

What should an Arizona school check under current NFHS rules before specifying a baseball or basketball scoreboard?

Check how your scoreboard handles three things current high school rules track: pitch counts in baseball, team fouls that reset each quarter in basketball, and a possible shot clock.

If the decision is about what the scoreboard shows on game night, current high school rules set the checklist.

Baseball runs on pitch counts. In 2016, NFHS revised baseball Rule 6-2-6 so that each member state association develops its own pitching restriction policy based on the number of pitches thrown in a game, with a required rest period between appearances. Limits and rest days are set state by state. Confirm the current figures with your state association before the season starts.

Someone has to keep that count. A scoreboard with pitch count digits puts it where both teams can see it. Our data, from the LX1130 cutsheet, shows 11-inch Home Pitch Count and Guest Pitch Count digits beside 18-inch digits for Home Score, Guest Score and Inning, with 4-inch Ball, Strike and Out indicators. The LX1130 cabinet is 8 ft x 6 ft, weighs 170 lb and draws 1.4 amps. The LX1130 is a catalog example, not one of the five models that lead the Arizona record.

Basketball changed how fouls are counted. Under NFHS basketball rules since the 2023-24 season, Rule 4-8-1 awards two free throws for every common foul once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter, and team fouls reset at the end of each quarter. The one-and-one is gone. The same rules book has let each state association adopt a 35-second shot clock since the 2022-23 season. Adoption is a state decision.

A gym that still tracks fouls by the half is out of step with the game. Shot clocks are normally ordered as a pair, so plan for both ends of the court.

I would settle these three points before asking for any quote:

1. Confirm your state's pitch limits, then decide whether the count belongs on the scoreboard or on a clipboard.
2. Confirm that your scoreboard and console can display team fouls for each quarter.
3. Confirm whether your state association has adopted the shot clock before you specify one.

Across these 4 sources, the three rule notices and our cutsheet, the pattern holds. Rules decide what the scoreboard should show. Check them first, then choose the model.

How do the leading Arizona models compare beyond size and weight?

Indoor and outdoor leaders differ in LED colors, face vinyl and mounting hardware, so the spec sheet decides which scoreboard suits a gym wall or a two-post field site.

Our data, from the LX2655 spec sheet, lists amber, red and green LED displays for that indoor scoreboard. The three outdoor baseball leaders offer amber or red. Mounting differs too. The LX2655 ships with hardware for attaching the cabinet to a wall, while the LX1050 and LX1060 spec sheets list hardware for permanent installation on two posts without the need for on site fabrication.

The outdoor three also share a junction box and patch cable for hardwired installations. The LX2655 adds a goal light output port for optional LED backboard goal light kits. Read the mounting column first. I would settle where the scoreboard hangs or stands before comparing anything else, because a gym wall and a field site call for different hardware from the start.

What should you take away from Arizona's scoreboard record?

Plan for both the diamond and the gym. Start from the model your sport leans on in the Arizona record, then check its own spec sheet against your gym wall or field before you request a quote.

Football is not the center of the Arizona record. The research section above walks through these findings. For your next order, I would ask the Electro-Mech team which options, such as ID panels or Electronic Team Names, belong on the quote.

Options matter as much as the base model. Our data, from the LX2655 spec sheet, lists a center-hung, four-sided configuration, so the same basketball layout can hang over center court in a larger gym.

Rules come first. Then pick the model. Read its spec sheet line by line before you ask for a quote.
