Baseball Lineup Pro vs Next Inning

LineupPro is the ultimate lineup management tool for baseball coaches. Whether you run a youth league team or a travel ball squad, LineupPro uses AI-driven analysis to build optimal batting orders, rotate fielding positions fairly, and keep every player in the game. SMART LINEUP CREATION Stop spending hours before each game figuring out who bats where and who plays which position. LineupPro's AI engine analyzes your players' stats — batting average, OBP, SLG, speed, power, fielding percentage, and position experience — to recommend a complete lineup in seconds. Batting order is optimized from leadoff through cleanup, and fielding positions rotate intelligently across every inning. FAIR PLAY MONITOR Youth baseball means every kid deserves time on the field. The Fair Play Monitor gives you a visual inning-by-inning position matrix so you can see at a glance who's playing, who's on the bench, and for how long. Automatic warnings alert you when a player has been benched too many consecutive innings or is stuck in only infield or outfield spots. GAMECHANGER IMPORT Already tracking stats in GameChanger? Import your team's CSV export directly into LineupPro. Batting, pitching, fielding stats, and position experience are all pulled in automatically and matched to your existing roster. No manual data entry required. MULTI-TEAM SUPPORT Coach more than one team? Manage multiple rosters, schedules, and lineups all within a single app. Switch between teams with one tap. AI PLAYER ASSESSMENTS Get individual player ratings on a 0–10 scale for batting, fielding, and pitching. See each player's best positions, suggested batting order slot, and a plain-language scouting summary — all generated from their real stats. GAME MANAGEMENT Create games with opponent, date, and inning count. Build lineups inning by inning, copy lineups between innings or from previous games, and mark games complete to build your season history. STATS DASHBOARD View team-wide leaderboards for batting average, OPS, RBI, ERA, strikeouts, fielding percentage, and more. Track which positions each player has experience at and how many innings they've logged. FULLY OFFLINE LineupPro works entirely on your device. No account required, no internet needed.

Next Inning is a lineup, fielding, and playing-time app for youth baseball and softball coaches. It is the top of the third. Your left fielder wants to pitch, a parent is asking why their kid sat two innings in a row, and you are holding a dry-erase board in one hand and a lineup card in the other. Next Inning replaces both. It is built for the innings you are coaching, not the recap afterward. PLAN THE GAME Build the fielding rotation in a grid: players down the side, innings across the top, tap a cell to set a position. Or start from a generated plan: Next Inning fills every inning of fielding around your rules, each player's position preferences, and who has been sitting. You set the batting order yourself, by dragging it into shape (in continuous batting order) or copying it from a prior game, fielding plan too if you like. Enter your limits once (minimum field innings, consecutive bench innings, pitcher innings, pitch caps, rest days) or start from a league preset, with a per-game override for tournaments. Enter pitch counts after an outing and Next Inning helps you track them: it flags a plan that breaks one of your rules and still lets you make the call. SOFTBALL Bat 9, 10, 11, 12 or the whole roster, per team or per game. Mark the DP, FLEX and EP for fastpitch; a pinch hitter keeps the same batting spot, and the Re-enter once setting warns before an illegal re-entry. RUN THE DUGOUT The dugout view is the point of the app: one screen, big type, high contrast, readable at a glance in direct sun from a few feet away. Tap a position to pick a player, or drag a player onto another. One tap steps to the next inning and the positions redraw. Mark a player unavailable, mark an injury from an inning, or sub a player out; the batting order and fielding plan route around them. Position changes, swaps, and sub-outs have an undo, so a mis-tap costs you a second, not an inning. On a tablet in landscape the batting order sits beside the field; on a phone you switch between the two, so the tablet can stay in the dugout while you coach from the baseline. Super-bright mode holds the screen at full brightness for noon games, and it stays awake between pitches. WORKS OFFLINE Ball fields have bad service. Sign in once with your email; after that the dugout runs on the device. Every tap saves on the device first and syncs when signal comes back. SHOW YOUR WORK Season totals per player: innings played, innings at each position, bench innings, pitch counts, games played, and a fairness score that rises when innings and infield time are spread evenly and nobody sits two innings in a row. Export the season fairness report as a PDF to print or bring to the playing-time conversation. YOU AND YOUR ASSISTANTS Invite an assistant coach with a short code. They sign in on their own phone and see the same lineup, fielding plan, and inning, usually within seconds when you both have signal. ALSO IN THE APP - Multiple teams; copy roster instead of retyping names each season - Roster with jersey numbers, preferred positions, and positions to avoid - Bullpen and on-deck planning, plus the pitching order - Per-game availability (one tap on Home), designated hitter, game summary with the score - Schedule with opponent, home or away, field on a map, and game-time forecast - Printable lineup card as a PDF for the umpire and scorekeeper - Coaching-staff chat per team and per game, with mute and report WHAT IT DOES NOT DO Next Inning does not score the game, stream video, or broadcast to families. Other apps do that well and you can keep using them. This one helps you decide who plays where, and shows your work when someone asks. Free to use. No ads. We never sell or rent player data, and a roster is visible only to the coaches you invite. Next Inning is built for coaches. Head coaches and assistant coaches use it, and it stores roster information, so it is not designed for players to use. Support: support@nextinning.app nextinning.app
