DugoutHQ is the app for running a youth or travel baseball team — and for scoring and broadcasting the game too. It was built by a coach who was tired of running a club out of a spreadsheet, a group text, and three different apps. Call the play, and DugoutHQ scores it: DugoutHQ's voice scoring turns what you say into a box score in real time, no tapping between pitches. Go live in true 1080p, and DugoutHQ keeps a full-quality copy of the whole broadcast recorded right on your phone while you stream — it survives a dropped signal or a crash, and it can become the game's official replay with every play already lined up. Families and the fans a team approves can watch live or catch the replay, follow the score on their Lock Screen while it plays, and send the game to the TV with AirPlay. Save and share a clip of any play. New in 3.0: Ask Duggy answers "how do I…?" questions in your own words and shows you exactly where to tap. And AI pitch tracking (beta) turns a spare phone behind the plate into a second set of eyes that spots each pitch for the scorer to confirm. Keep your whole program on the same page, too. Post the schedule once and every family sees it. Track who's paid dues and who hasn't, without a shared spreadsheet anyone can edit. Build a lineup and batting order in minutes — or scan an opponent's lineup QR code and skip typing it in. Message your team directly in the app — no separate group chat app, no lost texts. Fan Zone gives every family and fan one home for the teams they follow: pin and reorder the teams that matter most, star the games you don't want to miss, subscribe to a team's schedule in your own calendar app, and search back through every saved video. DugoutHQ's team-management tools — schedules, dues, lineups, chat, scoring — are free to start, no credit card required. Watching game video takes a Viewer Pass; buy or manage one right from the app's Settings, or on the web at dugout-hq.com.

Make every player feel like they’re stepping into the stadium. StadiumCue gives coaches, teams, and game-day DJs an easy way to manage walk-up music, player introductions, batting lineups, team playlists, and custom audio cues from one place. Built for youth baseball, softball, and other team sports, StadiumCue helps take the stress out of running game-day music so you can focus on the players and the game. GAME DAY WALK-UP MUSIC Set up a walk-up song for each player and choose exactly where the song should begin. StadiumCue keeps your lineup organized so you can quickly play the right player introduction and walk-up song when each player comes up. PLAYER INTRODUCTIONS Create personalized player introductions and combine them with walk-up music for a stadium-style entrance. Choose how the music plays with the introduction, including starting during the introduction or beginning after it finishes. GAME DAY MODE Run your lineup from a dedicated Game Day screen designed for quick access during live games. Move through players in batting order, play their introductions and walk-up songs, and keep your game-day audio organized from one screen. BUILD AND MANAGE LINEUPS Create game lineups, move players between the active lineup and bench, reorder the batting order, and prepare each game before first pitch. SCAN A LINEUP Got a new batting order on game day? Take a photo of the lineup and StadiumCue can scan the player names and jersey numbers, match them to your existing roster, and rearrange the active batting order to match the new lineup. Review the scanned order before saving, then head straight into Game Day with the updated batting order ready to go. APPLE MUSIC INTEGRATION Connect Apple Music and choose songs for player walk-ups and team playlists. Set a custom song start time so the best part of the song begins exactly when you want it. TEAM PLAYLISTS Create warm-up playlists and keep your team’s game-day music ready in one place. CUSTOM CUES Keep frequently used game sounds and music cues available for quick playback during games and events. PARENT SONG REQUESTS Give parents a simple way to submit walk-up song requests for their player while keeping the coach in control of the final setup. LIVE BATTING ORDER Share a live batting order so families can follow the lineup during the game. BUILT FOR REAL GAME DAYS StadiumCue is designed for coaches and teams who want an easier way to organize music, player introductions, lineups, and game-day audio without juggling multiple apps.
