## What is Who's on Second?

The baseball and softball lineup maker built for Little League, rec, and travel ball coaches. Drag players onto the diamond, auto-generate a fair lineup in one tap, and track pitch counts and playing time all season.

Print a clean lineup card, keep the batting order rotating fairly, and know who can pitch before you fill out the card. Everything works on your phone from the dugout.

LINEUP BUILDER
Build lineups with drag-and-drop on a visual baseball diamond. Assign players to positions inning by inning, set your batting order, and mark absent players. Click a position to quick-assign, or let auto-generate build a compliant lineup in one tap. Everything updates in real time: batting order, position summary, and rule compliance.

AUTO-GENERATE
One tap builds a full lineup that respects your league's rules, your batting order, and your fairness history. Handles minimum play requirements, position limits, pitcher eligibility, and more. You can always adjust the result by hand.

PITCH COUNT TRACKING
Log pitch counts after each game. Rest day calculations happen automatically based on your league's thresholds. Ineligible pitchers are flagged before you build your next lineup, so you never have to wonder who's available. Tracks pitches thrown on other teams too, because rest days don't reset when a player plays travel ball on Tuesday.

CONFIGURABLE RULES ENGINE
Every league is different. Set your own rules for minimum play, consecutive bench innings, infield requirements, pitcher limits, designated hitter, and more. Rules show real-time warnings in the lineup builder. They're guardrails, not hard blocks: you always have the final call.

FAIRNESS SUMMARY
See who played where and how much across the entire season. Per-player innings played, innings sat, position distribution, and pitching totals. When a parent asks about playing time, you've got the answer.

SET LINEUP (SEASON BATTING ORDER)
Set your batting order once. After each game, mark who batted last. The rotation handles itself for the next game, so every player moves through the order fairly over the course of the season.

PRINTABLE LINEUP CARD
Print a clean lineup card that fits one page. Absent players listed separately. Bring it to the dugout or hand it to the umpire.

TEAM ROLES
Invite assistant coaches, scorekeepers, and parents. Each role sees only what they need. Parents get read-only access to their player's position history and pitch count status. Coaches and scorekeepers can enter pitch counts and manage lineups based on their role.

WORKS AT EVERY LEVEL
Little League, rec, travel ball, high school, adult leagues. The rules engine is fully configurable, so it adapts to your league instead of the other way around.

BUILT FOR THE DUGOUT
Responsive design that works on phones, tablets, and laptops. Build your lineup on Saturday morning from the bleachers, adjust it in the parking lot when someone no-shows, and pull it up on your phone between innings.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-16*

Great for keeping up with the bookscore. Love the features of this app

### 5/5 — Assistant Coach in my Pocket

*2026-07-04*

I’ve been using this to coach my daughter’s softball team and it has saved me so much grief with the Local league’s supplemental rules, especially with the minimum infield innings requirement. The drag and drop makes it easy and I appreciate how quickly they respond to questions.

### 1/5 — App tries to circumvent Apple’s subscription management system

*2026-06-30*

I really hate when developers do this. There’s no way to subscribe within the App Store. They make you leave the app and subscribe outside in a web browser, and I know exactly why they are doing this… It’s because they want it to be more difficult to cancel a subscription or monitor your subscription from the same place that your Apple ID shows. 

Apple tries to make it easy to end a subscription and not get members stuck in a subscription they forget about. They have one button you can click to end a subscription.

This App clearly does not want to abide by those rules. I really wish Apple would do something about this.

**Developer response:** UPDATED July 7: We heard you, and today's update does exactly what you asked for. Who's on Second 1.8.0 is now live, and you can subscribe and manage your plan right inside the app through Apple. Your subscription shows up alongside your others in your Apple ID settings, with the one-tap cancel you mentioned. Thanks for pushing us on this. Feedback like yours is how a new app gets better.

[Original Response]:
Thanks for the honest feedback and to be clear, we're not trying to trap anyone. Who's on Second works across web, iOS, and all browsers, so billing runs through our website (which also lets us keep the coach price low). You can cancel anytime in about 15 seconds at whosonsecond.com → Profile → Manage Subscription. It's instant, no email, codes, extra hoops, or phone call needed. You're right that it should be easier to reach from inside the app, so we're adding a direct "Manage Subscription" link in the next update to allow a more direct path. I appreciate you flagging your experience as we are a new app and the user experience and the ratings here are incredibly important to our success or failure. Please reach out directly by opening a support ticket in the app so that we can try to make it right.

### 5/5 — Perfect for Little League

*2026-06-09*

Great app and also responsive developer who has added a bunch of features for my team that have been a huge help. It’s been eye opening for the parents to see fairness stats as well. 

My favorite part is the GameChanger imports!

### 5/5 — Best app award

*2026-05-29*

Best app for baseball lineups hands down. Also is great for team coordination, stats summaries. Love the app and online version.

### 5/5 — Incredibly Valuable Tool

*2026-05-15*

Who’s on Second might be the most comprehensive tool for youth baseball coaches. The depth of the rule sets and configurations saves so much time throughout the week. The developer is super responsive. Love this software.

### 5/5 — Best app for coaches!

*2026-05-04*

This app has been a huge time-saver for me as a baseball coach. Before using it, I was trying to manage rosters, batting orders, defensive rotations, innings played, and lineup changes manually in Excel, and it was a constant headache. This app has taken a lot of that pain out of the process and made game-day planning much easier.

Being able to organize lineups, track player rotations, and make adjustments without rebuilding spreadsheets every time has been incredibly valuable. It helps me stay more organized, make better decisions, and spend less time buried in admin work. For youth baseball especially, where you’re balancing playing time, positions, pitching, catching, and last-minute changes, having a tool like this makes a real difference.

The app already solved a major problem for me, and the new features continue to add even more value. It feels like it is being actively improved by people who understand what coaches actually need. I’m incredibly happy I found it and would highly recommend it to any baseball coach who is still trying to manage lineups and rosters manually.

### 5/5 — Responsive Developer!

*2026-04-16*

I’ve been using this on my phone and it has changed how I manage the dugout. I volunteer for my LL so I have a lot going on. Not having to manage the pitch counts the night before has been awesome. The two time I has some user error, the admin was super helpful and responded quickly. Would recommend.

### 5/5 — Wish I’d had this tool sooner!

*2026-04-15*

This app makes tracking my players easy! I don’t coach to crunch numbers, and now I don’t have to!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much — "I don't coach to crunch numbers" is exactly why I built this. If you haven't tried auto-generate or the post-game wrap-up yet, those are the two biggest number-crunchers the app takes off your plate. Have a great season!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3.1 — 2026-08-23

Rainout? Swipe it off the schedule.

Swipe left on any game to delete it. A quick confirmation asks before anything goes, and it reminds you that the game's pitch counts go with it, so nobody's rest days get confused by a game that never happened.

Importing your schedule from a calendar now skips games that already happened, so you only bring in what's ahead. And if you back out of a calendar connection halfway through, the app tidies up after you instead of leaving it half-hooked-up.

We repainted the foul poles, restocked the rosin bag, and found the good fungo bat behind the water cooler. Small fixes and polish under the hood.

### 2.2.0 — 2026-08-18

Paste your roster and let the app do the fielding.

Got the roster in a text from the coordinator? Paste it, one name per line, and the whole team lands on your roster in seconds. Then tap through position ratings right there so the lineup generator knows who's your catcher and who's still figuring out which hand the glove goes on.

The generator now checks the roster before it takes the field. If most of your players don't have position ratings yet, it says so up front and offers to walk you over to Rate Players first — or you can wave it through and generate anyway. Fewer surprise right fielders.

A friendlier first week in the dugout. Getting started is a five-step checklist with a progress bar that fills as you go, a "next up" banner so you always know the next move, and a little celebration when a step is done (yes, there's confetti). Coaching a team someone else already set up? "Join a team" is waiting right on the Home screen.

Enjoying the app? You can rate Who's on Second anytime from More → Help.

We raked the infield, hung a fresh lineup card in the dugout, and tracked down the other batting helmet. Small fixes and polish under the hood.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-08-14

Canadian coaches, your dugout is ready. Enter a postal code like M5V 2T6, exactly how you know it, when you set up your team or add a game. Your city and province fill themselves in, your timezone sets itself (Atlantic, Newfoundland, and Saskatchewan included), and game-day weather shows up for Canadian ballparks, from St. John's to Victoria. One glance and you know whether Saturday means sunscreen or a toque.

Location entry is one tap quicker for everyone: the keyboard now offers your saved zip or postal code as you type, wherever the app asks for one.

We waxed the maple bats, chalked the foul lines in both official languages, and taught the seventh-inning stretch the metric system. Small fixes and polish under the hood.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-03

Join a team in seconds.

• Got an invite link or code from your coach? Open it and send a request right from the app.
• Head coaches: share a join link and approve requests from your phone, wherever you are.
• Pending requests and team invitations now appear on your Home screen.
• Get notified the moment someone asks to join or you're added to a team, with new settings to control what you hear about.

Also in this release

• Screenshot a lineup and we'll offer to share a live link that stays up to date.
• Archived teams show a clear read-only banner, and saves that can't go through now tell you why.
• Smoother notification setup the first time you open the app.

Small fixes and polish under the hood.

### 1.9.0 — 2026-07-22

- Game-day weather is on the board. Add a zip code to a game and your next matchup's forecast shows up right on your home screen — the high, the sky, and the chance of rain, powered by Apple Weather. One glance and you know whether Saturday means sunscreen or a tarp.
- Meet the Pitching Outlook. A new card on your home screen counts the arms you have available, who's resting, and the day each pitcher is back. Tap it for the full pitching picture.
- Wrapping up games is quicker. When a played game still needs its numbers, a Complete Game button appears right on your schedule — tap it, enter the stats, done.
- Managing your staff got simpler. Tap anyone in Team Staff and Parents to see their details, hand them a new role, or take them off the team.
- Handing off the whole team? The transfer flow now shows you your own next role up front.
- Tap a tab a second time and it hops back to the top of that section.
- Lose signal at the field and a banner says so — and lets you know the moment you're back.
- Duplicate jersey numbers get a heads-up before they save, and your changes confirm themselves with a quick note on screen.
- We oiled the scoreboard motor, re-taped the fungo bats, and leveled the mound. Small fixes and polish under the hood.
