How It Works

Add your players. Enter your roster — names and the positions they can play. Takes about 3 minutes for a full team.
Set your game parameters. Number of innings, batting order style (standard or continuous), and any league-specific settings.
Generate your lineup. Hit the button. Rizzler builds a batting order and fielding rotation that balances playing time and puts players in positions that make sense.
Adjust anything. Don't like where someone landed? Drag and drop to move them. Rizzler adjusts the rest of the game around your changes.

That's it. You've got a lineup. Share it with your coaches, print it, or pull it up on your phone at the field.

Who Uses the Free Lineup Generator

First-year coaches who just got handed a roster of 13 kids and need a lineup for Saturday's game. You don't need to know sabermetrics. You need a batting order that doesn't leave anyone sitting for three straight innings.

Rec league coaches who want fair playing time without spending an hour with a spreadsheet. The generator distributes playing time across positions automatically.

Tournament coaches who need to build lineups fast between games. Player got hurt? Kid showed up late? Adjust the roster, regenerate, and you've got a new lineup in 30 seconds.

Softball coaches looking for a lineup tool that actually supports softball — not a baseball tool with "also works for softball" in the fine print.

Free Generator vs. the Full Rizzler Experience

The free lineup generator is one piece of what Rizzler does. If all you need is a lineup for Saturday, the free tool handles it.

But if you're planning a full season — tracking pitch counts across games, managing tournament weekends, evaluating players, staying compliant with Little League or USSSA rules — the full Rizzler web app and iOS app give you everything in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account to use the free lineup generator?

You can try it without an account. Creating a free Rizzler account lets you save your lineups, track them across games, and access additional features like pitch counting, scoring, and roster management.

Does it work for softball?

Yes. The lineup generator works for both baseball and softball. Same positions, same batting order logic, same fairness balancing. More about Rizzler for softball →

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. The free lineup generator is mobile-friendly. Build a lineup on your phone at the field, share it with your coaches, and you're ready to go.

How is this different from other free lineup generators?

Most free lineup generators just randomize a batting order. Rizzler's generator balances playing time across positions, supports continuous batting order, and checks for rule compliance. It's a real coaching tool, not a randomizer. See how Rizzler compares to other generators →

What's the difference between the free generator and the AI Batting Order?

The free generator builds lineups based on position preferences and playing time balance. The AI Batting Order (Pro plan) analyzes actual player stats — batting average, OBP, matchup history — to build statistically optimized lineups. Think of it as the difference between a good lineup and the best possible lineup for that game.

Is there a limit to how many times I can use it?

No. Use it for every game, all season, forever. It's free.

Can I print the lineup?

Yes. Export your lineup to share digitally or print a physical copy for the dugout clipboard.
