Michigan Scoreboards: The LX1030, LX1060 and LX2350 Across 153 Records

Baseball leads Electro-Mech's Michigan sales and shipping record, ahead of basketball and then football. Indoor or outdoor is the first split to make. The five most-shipped models finish almost level: the LX1030, LX1060 and LX1050 for outdoor baseball and softball, and the LX2350 and LX2655 for indoor gyms.

If you are choosing a scoreboard for a Michigan school, park or league, that near tie is the useful part. Before you open a spec sheet, note the space the cabinet has to fit and how far away the farthest seat sits. This guide reads the record model by model and sets the spec sheets side by side. It then turns to what the record cannot settle for you: the current rules of your governing body, such as NFHS for high school play, and the mounting and power details your contractor needs.

What Does Electro-Mech's Michigan Sales and Shipping Record Show?

Our Michigan sales and shipping record holds 153 records across 97 cities and towns, ranks the state twenty-fourth of fifty by units shipped, and runs from 2000 to 2025.

Read the record in three steps:

1. Start with the state count and the years it covers.
2. Look at the split by sport to see where the orders sit.
3. Go to the model counts last, and check each model against its own spec sheet.

One organization's orders are a few lines in a much larger file. The three LX1060 baseball entries for Atlanta Community Schools in Atlanta, Michigan are an example: three lines, one organization, one sport. The state record is what those lines sit inside.

How is the Michigan record split by sport?

Baseball leads. Our review of the state record shows 69 baseball records, against 43 for basketball and 28 for football.

Three points follow from that table. Baseball is the largest single group in the record. Basketball is second and football is third. Soccer, hockey and lacrosse are small counts, but each one is a real order.

The sport matters because each sport's rules decide what a scoreboard has to show. High school rules are written by the NFHS and applied through each state association. If your interest is the gym side of the record, the current basketball scoreboards are listed by model on our site.

How should you read a single record?

Each record is one row: one organization, one model, one city. That is the company's own counting rule, and the Michigan state page on our site prints the same two counts, so you can check them. The counts are a snapshot taken on September 14, 2026.

A record tells you what was sold and shipped. Each line also carries the date it shipped, so you can see how recent an order is. The questions the record can answer are narrower: which models were ordered for your sport, and in which years.

Which Scoreboard Models Lead the Michigan Record?

No single model leads. Five models sit between 10 and 12 records each, the LX1030, LX1060, LX2350, LX2655 and LX1050, out of 50 distinct models in the state.

Baseball and basketball top the sport split, so you might expect one baseball model to run away with the count. None does. Our data, from the Michigan sales and shipping record, counts each model by its LX equivalent, so entries written as 2350, 2350-C and LX2350 count as one model. On that basis the five most-shipped models sit within two records of each other.

To narrow the five, read the Spec sheet listing column before the counts. Ask which of the five lists your sport, and set the others aside.

What the LX1050 spec sheet shows

The LX1050 spec sheet lists a 6 ft x 3 ft aluminum cabinet at 78 lb, with 15-inch digits throughout, 3-inch indicators and a draw of 0.8 amps. The LX1050 model page describes it as the smallest of the permanently installed outdoor scoreboards. Because its captions are short, that page recommends the LX1050 only where the viewing distance is less than 250 feet. Measure your farthest viewing position before you choose the smallest cabinet.

What the LX2655 spec sheet shows

The LX2655 is an indoor model with reversible captions for Volleyball or Wrestling. Its spec sheet gives a 9 ft x 5 ft cabinet at 133 lb. Guest Team Points, Home Team Points and Period Clock digits are 12 inches tall, and all others are 9 inches. The standard LX2655 draws 1.5 amps, and the LX2655-ETN draws 2.2 amps. If your gym hosts volleyball or wrestling as well as basketball, ask about those captions first.

None of the five names football on its spec sheet. If your project is a football field, start from the full range of football scoreboards and treat this list as background.

Which Rulebook Governs the Games on Your Field or Gym?

Each level that plays under your scoreboard brings its own rulebook. High school games follow NFHS rules and the state association, while Little League games follow Little League's own regulations.

Baseball shows the split most clearly. Under NFHS rules, each state association sets its own pitching restriction policy for high school play. Little League publishes separate pitch count breakdowns by league age, with days-of-rest thresholds for each division of play. Those breakdowns apply to Little League games, not to high school games. A diamond that hosts both levels serves two sets of limits in the same season.

In a school gym, NFHS writes the high school basketball rules, including the per-quarter team foul count covered earlier in this article. Before you settle on a model, list every level that plays on the field or in the gym and check the current edition of each rulebook. Share that list with the Electro-Mech team when you request a quote, so the team can match the model to the games it will serve.

What Separates the LX1030, LX1060 and LX2350, and Who Ordered Them in Michigan?

Cabinet size and setting separate them: the LX1030 and LX1060 are outdoor baseball models and the LX2350 is an indoor basketball model. Together they hold 35 Michigan records at 33 organizations.

Our sales and shipping record for these three models covers scoreboards shipped 2004 to 2025 and splits into 24 baseball and 11 basketball records. By model spelling, the record shows 2350 on 10 records, LX1060 on 7, 1030 on 6, LX1030 on 6, 1060 on 5 and LX2350 on 1.

How the three spec sheets compare

Our data, from each model's own spec sheet, sets the three side by side.

The two baseball models share a digit height. Choosing between them is a question of cabinet and caption size. The LX2350 puts its tallest digits on the points and the Period Clock, and its Bonus and Possession indicators mark it as a basketball scoreboard. For setup detail beyond a spec sheet, go to the scoreboard manuals page.

Which Michigan organizations the record names

Not every buyer on the list is a school or a league. Atlanta Community Schools in Atlanta, Michigan, appears three times, as 1060 in 2005 and 2006 and as LX1060 in 2025, all for baseball. Gull Lake Little League in Richland, Michigan, has two 1030 baseball entries. Grand Traverse Resort & Spa in Acme, Michigan, has an LX2350 basketball entry. The table gives every named entry, one row per scoreboard, in the record's own spelling.

Ship dates tell you when an order shipped, nothing more. Read each entry in the Model column against the spec sheet table above, so a 1060 line points you to the LX1060 column.

Copy this note into your quote request. Each line answers a question the spec sheets cannot answer for you.

Sport and level: high school / Little League division / recreation
Farthest viewing distance (feet):
Mounting: two posts outdoors / gym wall
Dedicated power circuit at the site: yes / no
Console link: data cable / ScoreLink Wireless RF
Pitch count shown at the field: yes / no

The viewing distance line decides whether the LX1050, the smallest outdoor model here, is in play. The division line matters because Little League sets its pitch counts by league age.

How Does the Michigan Record Compare With High School Sports Participation?

Scoreboard orders and athlete counts measure different things. Our record leans toward baseball, and Michigan's participation data covers every high school sport.

State Champs Network, reporting the NFHS annual participation survey with figures supplied by the MHSAA, counted 295,634 high school sports participants in Michigan in the 2025-26 school year. That placed the state eighth nationally, while it ranks 10th in high school-aged population. Boys participation was 171,573, sixth nationally. Girls participation was 124,061, eighth in the country for the third straight year.

The sport ranks in that report point somewhere our sales and shipping record does not. Michigan ranked fourth nationally in boys hockey and fifth in boys basketball. In our record, basketball sits second among sports and hockey is tied for the smallest count. A strong participation rank does not show up as a matching share of scoreboard orders.

What multi-sport participation adds

The MHSAA's eighth Multi-Sport Participation Survey, reported by Midwest Sports Network, drew responses from 73.8 percent of member high schools for 2025-26. It found that 45.3 percent of athletes at those schools played two or more sports. The rate rises as enrollment falls, from Class A, the largest schools, to Class D, the smallest.

One name shows up in both sources. The survey lists Atlanta at 90.9 percent among Class D schools, and our record carries baseball entries for Atlanta Community Schools in Atlanta, Michigan. Neither document explains the other.

What the record cannot tell you

Keep three limits in mind when you set the two sources side by side:

• The record counts orders. It does not count athletes, teams or games.
• Its sport totals do not separate schools from Little Leagues, townships and businesses.
• It does not show which sports a school sponsors.

Participation tells you how many athletes play. The record tells you what buyers ordered. Use the first to judge how busy your venues are, and the second to see which models other Michigan buyers chose.

What Should You Check Before Ordering a Scoreboard in Michigan?

Check three things: the current rules for your sport and level, the posts or wall the scoreboard mounts on, and the power at the site.

Take them in order: the rules decide what the scoreboard has to show, and the site decides what it can carry. These three checks are the ones you can make for your own field or gym.

Rules for your sport and level

Basketball first. NFHS Rule 4-8-1 has awarded two free throws for all common fouls once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter since the 2023-24 season, and team fouls reset at the end of each quarter. The change eliminated the one-and-one. The LX2350 carries built-in Bonus and Possession indicators, and its spec sheet lists Double Bonus Indicators as optional equipment. Check the rule before you choose the indicators.

Baseball next. NFHS Rule 6-2-6, revised in 2016, requires each member state association to develop 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 differ by state, so take Michigan's from the MHSAA. Little League publishes its own pitch count breakdowns by league age, with days-of-rest thresholds for each division of play. The NFHS rules govern high school play, and Little League's govern its own divisions. If you want pitch count shown at the field, raise it when you ask for a quote.

Mounting posts

Pass the mounting details to the contractor who will set the posts. Our data, from the LX1030 owner handbook, describes the scoreboard mounted on two posts, typically steel pipes or I-beams, sunk in reinforced concrete footings. That handbook also gives these details:

• The mounting hardware accommodates posts up to 4.5 inches outer diameter.
• The scoreboard attaches to the posts at four mounting points on the rear.
• Posts are positioned so the scoreboard front angles away from afternoon sun, which reduces glare.
• Post and footing specifications come from local building codes, based on wind conditions, soil conditions and scoreboard height.

A gym model such as the LX2350 attaches to a wall instead, so the post work applies to outdoor fields.

Power at the site

The same handbook calls for a dedicated 120 VAC power circuit for the LX1030, a weatherproof power disconnect at the scoreboard location, and a grounded NEMA 5-15R receptacle for the control console at the scorekeeper's table. It also calls for the LX1030 to be grounded for safety and lightning protection. All electrical work has to comply with the NEC and local codes, so that part belongs to your electrician.

Posts and power are settled on site, not on the spec sheet. Answer all three before you request a quote, and the quote will fit your field or gym.

What Does the Michigan Record Mean for Your Next Scoreboard?

Sort the leading models by sport: the LX1030, LX1060 or LX1050 for a diamond, the LX2350 or LX2655 for a gym. Then compare their spec sheets line by line.

For a gym, the choice narrows to two. The LX2655 model page describes that scoreboard as our most popular model for basketball, and in our Michigan sales and shipping record it sits level with the LX2350. Both earn a place on a gym shortlist.

Two notes from the model pages help you compare. The LX1050 is recommended only where the viewing distance is short. A gym that shares its floor with volleyball or wrestling has a reason to look at the LX2655. Then confirm the current rules with your own governing body and ask the Electro-Mech team for a quote on the model that matches.
