Lineup Optimization

Overview

Lineup Optimization is an anlytics software that helps baseball and softball coaches optimize their lineups for maximum run production.

How It Works

• Player statistics are used to assign probabilities to each possible outcome of a plate appearance.
• Thousands of games are simulated to calculate the average runs scored.
• When optimizing, all possible lineups are evaluated to find the one that scores the most runs.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Enter your players' names and their statistics in the lineup card above.
2. For each player, click "Edit Stats" to input their detailed statistics:
   • At Bats
   • Hits
   • Doubles
   • Triples
   • Home Runs
   • Walks
   • Speed (Fast/Slow - indicates ability to score from second on a single)
3. Use the arrow buttons (▲▼) to manually adjust batting order positions.
4. Set the number of innings (default is 9).
5. Choose your action:
   • Simulate: Tests your current batting order through thousands of simulated games.
   • Optimize: Tests all 362,880 possible lineup combinations to find the optimal batting order.

Tip: For best results, adjust statistics based on how you expect players to perform in the future, especially if the number of plate appearances is relatively small.
