For the coach who knows this scene

If you coach youth ball, you know this drill.

You spend an hour or more before the game building a lineup in a spreadsheet. You balance positions, balance bench time, try to keep arms safe, try to keep the parents happy.

Ten minutes before first pitch you get a text: the starting pitcher can’t make it. Two other kids are no-shows. You’re scribbling on the lineup card, flying blind on who’s sat the most this season or pitched too recently.

Over the course of a season, that’s 15-20 hours or more of pre-game planning. And you’re still not sure the rotation is actually fair.

HeySkip is the end of all that.

Fair, balanced lineups in under a minute.

For most coaches, that’s the whole product.

Roster in once at the start of the season. Tap generate. HeySkip balances positions and bench time across every game, respects pitch counts and rest days, and hands you a printable card for the dugout. No spreadsheet. No math. No guesswork on who’s been sitting too much.

Three taps to a full season plan.

  1. Add your roster.

    Enter your players, the positions they can cover, and anything else you want the algorithm to know. Takes about 15 minutes the first time.

  2. Tap generate.

    HeySkip balances positions, bench time, and pitcher rest across the full season in under a minute. You review, lock anything you want to keep, and regenerate until it looks right.

  3. Print the card and go.

    Defensive assignments by inning, batting order, pitch counts. Works on your phone in the dugout or on your clipboard. Kid doesn’t show? Tap to adjust and the rest of the game rebalances automatically.

What HeySkip actually does.

Auto-balanced positions and bench time

Every kid gets their reps. Nobody gets forgotten at shortstop or parked on the bench.

HeySkip tracks position variety and bench innings across every game of the season, so the fairness math compounds instead of resetting each weekend. The algorithm optimizes for fairness before anything else.

Pitch counts and rest days, handled

Pitch Smart guidelines out of the box. Configurable to your league’s rules.

Log pitches as they happen. HeySkip calculates rest days automatically by age bracket. If a kid pitched 45 pitches Saturday, HeySkip knows they can’t throw again until Tuesday.

Mid-game adjustments

Kid doesn’t show. Pitcher hits a limit. Tap to adjust.

HeySkip rebuilds the rotation around the change and keeps the fairness math intact. No lost innings. No scribbled cards.

Printable game card

Defensive assignments by inning, ready for your clipboard.

Mobile dugout view or printable PDF. Works the way you want to coach, not the way the app wants you to.

Coaching travel or a competitive team? Keep reading.

Just want fair and balanced lineups? You can skip this. Nothing you need is below.

Live game mode turns every game into a data source. Log pitches and ball-in-play results from your phone as the game runs. Those stats feed back into the lineup generator.

Shift between fairness mode (every kid gets their reps, which is what most rec and development teams want) and competitive mode that prioritizes your strongest lineup when the stakes are higher. Tournament-aware generation is rolling out through the pilot season.

You’re probably using GameChanger. Keep using it.

GameChanger is great for parents, highlights, and the live game feed. HeySkip doesn’t touch any of that.

HeySkip lives on the coach’s side of the dugout. Pre-game planning. In-game adjustments. The fairness and pitch count math that would take hours to do manually.

Run them side by side. They don’t step on each other.

Parents and highlights.

HeySkip

Coach-side planning.

Built by a coach, not a software company.

Every feature in HeySkip exists because a coach in a dugout needed it. The last-minute chaos of lineup adjustments. The no-show pitchers. The parent texts. The guesswork on fairness. All of it shaped the app.

Pitch count logic follows Pitch Smart guidelines out of the box, and every rule (rest thresholds, fielding positions, bench rotation) is configurable to your league.

Questions coaches actually ask.

How long does setup take?

About 15 to 20 minutes to enter your roster and league settings. After that you can generate lineups for the rest of the season in under a minute each.

Do I have to stop using GameChanger?

No. HeySkip doesn’t replace any of what GameChanger does. Keep scoring games there. Use HeySkip for the lineup and fairness side.

What if my league’s rules are different from Pitch Smart?

Every rule is configurable per team. Rest thresholds, fielding positions, bench rotation limits, batting order style. You set it once and HeySkip enforces it for the rest of the season.

Can I start mid-season?

Yes. Enter your roster as it stands today and start generating from your next game forward. You don’t have to reconstruct past games.

What if I hate it?

Tell me why and stop using it. No hard feelings and no contract to cancel. That feedback is worth more to me than you continuing to use something that doesn’t work for you.

Do I need to be tech-savvy?

HeySkip is built for phone use in the dugout. If you can text and take a photo, you can run HeySkip.

Is my team’s data private?

Yes. Your roster and game data are yours. No ads. No selling data. No parent-facing features you didn’t ask for.

What ages does HeySkip work for?

Anywhere from 8U through high school. Rules, pitch counts, and fielding positions are configurable for every age bracket.

Is this just baseball, or softball too?

Both. Same lineup math, same pitch count logic, same fairness engine.

Get set up this week. Use it for your next game.
