What is a Baseball Lineup Generator?

A baseball lineup generator is a digital tool that creates batting orders and/or fielding rotations for a baseball or softball team. At their simplest, lineup generators randomly assign players to batting positions and rotate fielding spots for fairness. At their most advanced, they use AI and player statistics to optimize lineup placement — putting high-OBP players at the top and power hitters in the middle.

Random/rotation generators shuffle your roster into a batting order and rotate fielding positions so every player gets equal time. These are best for rec leagues where fairness is the priority.

Stats-based generators use player performance data — batting average, OBP, OPS — to place players in optimal batting positions. Rizzler's AI Batting Order is this type.

Full game planning tools go beyond just the lineup. They generate batting orders AND fielding rotations AND integrate with pitch counting, rule compliance, and tournament planning. Rizzler's game planning feature is a full game planning tool.
