No, his has the score not the inning, well, half of the score.

All Star still makes a heavyweight steel one with notched wheels.  But it's $30 after S&H from them too.

While I whole-heartedly endorse the indicator @wolfe_man posted above, I am assuming the OP means BALL --> STRIKE (as opposed to STRIKE --> BALL).

I believe you're right to sir.  I think he means the order.  For me, I went to the balls first, large, 3 dial design.  I found I hated the innings indicator, so got rid of it on mine.

Still waiting for the umpire world to explain why ANY indicator ever has anything other than BALL ---> STRIKE with respect to the order of the wheels...

My only guess is that most of them are not made in America, and not all languages read right to left.  

I'm still wondering why numbered dials to look at are even still a thing.

Who knew baseball was big in Arabic countries? (just to be a Learning Larry, only 12 languages on Earth (who knows about in the Universe??) read right to left.)

I have this one and quite like it!  I have 2 complaints.

1- It is a HEAVY boy!  IT definitely has some weight to it.  In your hand you don't feel it, but don't put it in any shirt pocket/etc, or you're going to lose it.

2- And more importantly, it is SHINY.  I basically cannot look at it on sunny days.  I ended up stripping it down with some scotchbrite and hitting it with some etching primer+black enamel which worked great while it lasted.

As far as Strike/Ball vs Ball/Strike: For some reason the former just 'makes more sense' to me with an indicator *shrug*.

So, I bought this one. I really like it. It’s heavy, but not AS heavy. It isnt shiny. It’s serviceable and it’s BALL ——> STRIKE. Exactly what I was looking for. Only downside is that it’s 4 ball, 3 strike, 3 out. The score can just be used as innings 0-9
