What is Playing Time Tracking in Youth Baseball?

Playing time tracking is the practice of recording how many innings each player plays, at which positions, and in which batting order spots across a season. It's how youth baseball coaches monitor fairness, comply with minimum play rules, and answer parent questions about rotation with data instead of memory.

Most coaches don't track playing time systematically — they rely on intuition and good intentions. The problem is that good intentions don't prevent the same kid from sitting for three straight innings, and they don't help when a parent asks "why has my daughter only played second base twice this season?"

Rizzler tracks playing time automatically as part of the game planning workflow. Every time you build a game plan and execute it, the playing time data is recorded — innings played, positions covered, batting order placement. Over a season, you see the full picture for every player.

There's nothing extra to do. No separate spreadsheet. No post-game data entry. It's built into the tool you're already using.
