Baseball lineup generator
Type your players, choose how many innings, and get a fair defensive lineup where everyone rotates through positions and nobody sits the bench two innings in a row.
How the fair rotation works
Players sit in a circle in your batting order. Each inning the bench moves along by the number of extra players, so the bench is shared evenly and, when the roster allows it, nobody sits two innings in a row. Field positions shift every inning too, so each player sees the infield and the outfield instead of standing in right field all game.
The table at the bottom counts innings played and innings on the bench for every player, so you can show parents that playing time was equal.
How many players does it need?
At least as many players as fielders, so 9 or 10. It works with any bigger roster; with very large rosters some players may sit twice in a row because there are more bench spots than innings allow.
Does it work for softball and Little League?
Yes. Choose 10 fielders for leagues that play four outfielders, and set the number of innings your league uses.
Can I keep a pitcher or catcher fixed?
This free version rotates everyone for fairness. The Excel version can lock positions, track pitch counts and save the season.
Want this as your own Excel workbook?
I build the full version in Excel with your rates, saved bids or rosters, and a printable sheet, so it works offline and fits the way you run things.
