Professional Organization for Every Game
Success on the diamond starts with a clear plan in the dugout. Our Baseball Batting Lineup Template is designed to help coaches at all levels—from youth leagues to competitive adult teams—clearly communicate the hitting order to players, umpires, and scorekeepers. By using a standardized template, you eliminate the confusion of handwritten notes and ensure everyone is on the same page before the first pitch.

Clear and Simple Layout
This template focuses on what matters most: the hitting order. It provides dedicated space for player names, jersey numbers, and their corresponding spot in the lineup. Whether you hit a standard nine-player order or use a continuous lineup for developmental leagues, this sheet provides the flexibility you need to manage your hitters effectively.
Easy to Print and Use
While digital access is convenient for planning, a physical lineup sheet is a staple of the dugout wall. This resource is formatted to fit perfectly on standard paper, making it easy to print, clip to a clipboard, or tape to the dugout. Having a legible, printed batting order helps maintain the flow of the game and ensures your on-deck and "in-the-hole" hitters are always prepared for their turn at the plate.
How to Use This Lineup Template
- Input Your Roster: List your active players and their jersey numbers.
- Determine the Order: Assign players to batting spots 1 through 9 (and beyond if necessary).
- Add Substitution Notes: Use the extra space to list bench players or specific game-day reminders.
- Print for the Dugout: Print multiple copies—one for the dugout wall, one for the opposing coach, and one for the home plate umpire.
