For Coaches
Rizzler for Baseball & Softball Coaches
Rizzler handles the admin side of coaching — game plans, lineups, pitch counts, scoring, evaluations, rule compliance — so you can focus on the part you actually signed up for: coaching your players. Plan games in 10 minutes on your laptop. Execute the plan from your phone in the dugout. Review everything after.
The Coaching Problem Rizzler Solves
You know the Sunday night ritual. You've got a game Tuesday, and you're sitting at the kitchen table trying to figure out the batting order, who's playing where, who can pitch, and whether that kid who caught last game can pitch this one without violating the catcher-to-pitcher rule. You've got a spreadsheet from last season that kind of works, a text thread with your assistant coach, and a pen and paper for the fielding rotation.
An hour later you've got something that seems right. Maybe. You'll double-check the pitch counts in the car.
Rizzler replaces that hour with 10 minutes. Drag your lineup into place — or let the AI build it for you. Assign fielding positions and Rizzler checks the rules as you go. Set your pitching plan and see rest day compliance instantly. Save the plan, and it's on your phone when you walk into the dugout.
After the game, your stats, pitch counts, and playing time are already recorded. No more transcribing from paper. No more forgetting who played where.
