GamePlanLab is the pregame planning toolkit for youth baseball coaches. Build a complete game plan, batting order, defensive rotations, and pitching assignments in five minutes, then run it from the dugout with the rules of your league enforced automatically.

WHAT YOU CAN DO • Generate balanced batting orders weighted by age, OBP, contact, and speed with automatic high-K separation • Place defensive rotations that remember position history and balance premium positions across the season • Track pitch counts under Little League, USSSA, Cal Ripken, Perfect Game, PONY, or Dixie Youth rules, with automatic rest-day and catcher-conflict warnings • See exactly when the next game starts, who's absent today, and whether your lineup is ready, all from the home screen • Run a phone-first dugout with one-tap ball / strike / foul / out buttons that update pitch counts in real time • Use the voice pitch counter to call balls and strikes hands-free while watching the team • Mark players absent with a single tap from the roster (works offline; syncs when reception comes back) • Snap a GameChanger screenshot of your next opponent, and AI parses the stats and writes a one-page scouting report • Share the team schedule and per-game snack signup links with parents via the native iOS share sheet • Read AI-generated practice plans on the field; review past game results and season-long fairness WHO IT'S FOR • Rec ball coaches who want every kid to get a fair shot • Travel ball staffs who need professional-grade planning • High school coaches managing complex pitching rotations • Volunteer parents handed the team manager role for the first time PRIVACY & DATA GamePlanLab stores your roster, game plans, and season data on your account.
