## What is Fieldwork?

Stop running your lineup on a napkin or a spreadsheet.

Fieldwork is the coaching app for youth and travel baseball. Build your batting order, set your fielding inning by inning, track pitch counts and rest days, and keep playing time fair, all before first pitch.

Built by a coach who got tired of spreadsheets and group texts.

SMART BATTING ORDERS
Get a suggested batting order in one tap, with the reasoning behind it. Adjust for matchups, then lock it in. You call it, Fieldwork does the math.

FIELDING, INNING BY INNING
Set every position for every inning on one screen. Built-in warnings catch it before a kid gets stuck on the bench two innings straight, so playing time stays fair.

PITCH COUNT AND REST DAYS
Track pitches by player and get flagged before anyone crosses a limit. Rest days follow each player's league age, so you stay legal without doing the math in your head.

GAME DAY, FROM YOUR POCKET
Run the game from your phone. See who's playing where each inning, track the bench, and make changes on the fly.

TURN YOUR STATS INTO DECISIONS
Import your GameChanger stats and Fieldwork turns them into pitching workload, rest-day availability, and player insights that shape your lineup.

COACH TOGETHER
Invite your assistants so your whole staff sees the same lineup, fielding, and pitch counts, synced during the game.

EASY SETUP
Snap a photo of your roster and Fieldwork pulls in the names and numbers. Setup takes minutes, not an evening.

Fieldwork is for coaches who take the job seriously. Travel, rec, Little League, or middle school, if you manage a roster and a pitching staff, this is your dugout command center.

### 5/5 — Five Stars Coach!

*2026-08-28*

Clearly this app was built by coaches for coaches. It has everything you need to make changes to in real time, while in the middle of the game. I can easily move players around mid inning and swap players for injuries or water breaks. Once those things start happening, my pre-built excel spreadsheet is basically obsolete. And my other coaches can make live edits or get updates in real time. Super cool. This is definitely a game changer for the coaching staff.

### 5/5 — Favorite Youth Sports App 🙌🏼

*2026-08-25*

Incredible design and so easy to use. This has definitely been a next level game day addition. I’m no longer tracking or planning on a white board or spreadsheet of paper - everything we need is in one convenient place and helps swiftly track pitchers’ count standings and where players are played throughout the games and seasons. Also makes it helpful when coaching for multiple teams at a time. Game strategy is seamless with this app! Could not recommend it enough.

### 2.1 — 2026-09-15

What's New in 2.1

Smarter lineups and a stronger roster experience, plus a handful of fixes across the app.

• Mark your go-to starters. New toggle on each position lets you flag who usually starts there. Auto-Assign treats it as a top priority when building lineups.
• Auto-Assign got a real upgrade. We rebuilt how lineups get built from the ground up — it respects pitcher rest and rotation rules, never benches the same player two innings in a row, and keeps your starters in longer instead of rotating every single inning. The more games and pitches you record, the smarter it gets too — it tracks each player's season bench time and rest days to keep every future lineup fair and legal. This is the smartest Auto-Assign has ever been.
• Rate your players. New 1–5 fielding, arm, and batting ratings help Auto-Assign make better calls for your roster.
• More reliable GameChanger imports. Cleaner name parsing and proper handling of duplicate jersey numbers. No more jumbled roster imports.
• End a game early. New "End Game" option lets you jump straight to entering your final score without waiting on the clock.
• A refreshed Record Result screen and general polish throughout.

### 2.0 — 2026-09-11
