Plan every inning before first pitch — baseball or softball. Build your fielding rotation and batting order by hand, or let the app fill it in. Then coach it your way: lock the lineup down for a tough opponent, go developmental so every kid sees more of the field, or strike a balance in between — with optional fair-play rules you can apply to the whole team or just certain players.
