Disclosed herein is a hand-held count indicator of the kind having particular application to be used by a baseball umpire. The count indicator includes rows of indicator pins which are representative of balls, strikes and outs called by the umpire. A pushing force applied by the umpire to selected ones of the indicator pins causes the pins to slide through the count indicator from a raised position extending outwardly from the top of the device to a depressed position extending outwardly from the bottom of the device. The tops of the indicator pins have different shapes that can be tactilely sensed and distinguished from one another to provide the umpire with an indication of strikes, balls and outs at any time during play without the umpire having to shift his eyes away from the game in order to look at the count indicator.
