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.
