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.

Lineup Buddy makes setting a youth baseball or softball lineup quick, fair, and stress-free. Enter your roster once, tap a button, and get a complete batting order and inning-by-inning fielding chart that rotates players the way a good coach would — automatically. Built for coaches and team parents who'd rather spend their time on the field than wrestling with a spreadsheet. GENERATE FAIR LINEUPS INSTANTLY • Randomized batting order for the whole game — everyone bats. • Fresh fielding assignments for each of the 6 innings. • Rotates players so they don't get stuck at one position. • Keeps first base for the players you mark as first-base eligible. • Spreads infield time so every player gets in before anyone doubles up, and avoids back-to-back infield where the numbers allow. • Mixes each player between infield and outfield over the game. • Shares bench time fairly when you have more players than field spots. SCALES TO YOUR GAME • Works with 7 to 15 players. • Choose 9 or 10 fielders per game — the positions adjust automatically (single center fielder for 9, left-center and right-center for 10). • Positions adapt to how many players actually show up. EDIT ANYTHING BY HAND • Drag to reorder the batting order. • Set any position in any inning yourself, or copy the previous inning and tweak. • Mark a player out for a single game (sick, absent) — they're left out of the lineup and that game's stats, with one tap to add them back. • Enter a past game manually to keep your records complete. TRACK THE SEASON • Log each at-bat: single, double, triple, home run, walk, strikeout, or reached on error — plus RBIs. • Per-player season stats: batting average, hits by type, RBIs, walks, strikeouts, and games played. • See how many innings each player has spent at every position, including bench, and where they've hit in the order. MULTIPLE TEAMS • Manage more than one team, each with its own roster, settings, and season — perfect if you coach more than one squad. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no ads. • Everything stays on your device. Nothing is collected, tracked, or sent anywhere. Spend less time on logistics and more time coaching. Download Lineup Buddy and have a fair lineup ready before warm-ups are over.
