Random Batting Order
Random lineup + positions for baseball/softball.
The Random Batting Order tool builds a shuffled lineup for baseball or softball and can optionally hand out fielding positions too. It's a fast way for coaches and pickup teams to set a fair batting order and spread positions around without arguments. Each lineup is randomized fresh, with positions kept distinct within a single roster.

Frequently asked questions
Will the same player get the same position twice?
No. Within one generated lineup, positions are shuffled so each is assigned to a distinct player.
Can I lock a player into a position like catcher?
Not yet. For now, generate the lineup and then swap a player manually before saving.
Is the lineup really random?
Yes. Both the batting order and position assignments are shuffled with the Web Crypto API for unbiased results.
Is my team roster kept private?
Yes. The lineup is generated entirely in your browser, so your roster is never sent to a server and the tool works offline.
