Stop building lineups on in Excel Youth baseball and softball coaches: set your batting order, fill every inning on defense, and know before first pitch that every kid got their innings. Stack the Lineup checks your league's fair play rules while you build. BATTING ORDER • Drag to reorder, mark players absent, save an order to reuse next week • Handle late arrivals and early departures without breaking your inning counts • Lock a lineup as Finalized so nobody edits it by accident POSITIONS, INNING BY INNING • Set your game length — 6 innings, 7, whatever your league plays • See the grid by player or by position: who's pitching, who's catching, all game • Four-outfielder support for younger divisions FAIR PLAY RULES — Set for your league • Set infield and outfield minimums per player • Warn on back-to-back bench innings • Restrict pitcher and catcher, set catcher-to-pitcher transition limits • Turn any rule off if your league doesn't run it AUTO-FILL (Pro) Fill one inning or the whole game in a tap, with your fair play rules applied.

Or just tell it what you want: "pitch Caleb the first two innings, bench the top of the order first." PITCH COUNTS (Pro) Weekly limits and required rest days by league age. Pitch counts are captured when you archive a game and checked against each player's eligibility as you assign. PDFs FOR THE DUGOUT • Batting Order PDF for the scorekeeper • Coaches Guide with the full inning grid and a pitch eligibility table (Pro) • Your team name and colors, ready to print SHARE THE WORK (Pro) Invite an assistant coach to build positions with you.
