FAQ
Does Rizzler Work for Softball?
Yes. Every Rizzler feature works for both baseball and softball: game planning, pitch counting, playing time tracking, rule compliance, scoring, and heatmaps on every plan, plus Pro and Club features like AI Batting Order, AI Fielding Positions, tournament planning, and player evaluations. When you create a team, select "softball" as the sport and Rizzler adjusts for softball-specific settings.
What's Different for Softball
The core coaching challenges (building lineups, tracking pitch counts, managing tournaments, balancing playing time) are the same in both sports. The differences are in the details:
Pitching rules. Softball pitch count rules and rest requirements differ from baseball. Rizzler supports softball-specific pitch count limits when you set the sport and governing body.
Positions. Softball uses the same 9 defensive positions as baseball (some leagues add a designated player or extra hitter). Rizzler's fielding rotation handles all formats.
Game length. Softball games are often 7 innings instead of 6. Set your game length and Rizzler adjusts the planning grid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a separate softball app?
No. Rizzler is one app for both sports. Select "softball" when you create your team.
Does the AI Batting Order work for softball stats?
Yes. The AI uses the same statistical principles (OBP, OPS, strikeout rate), which apply equally to softball. AI Batting Order is part of the Pro and Club plans.
Are softball rules included in the rule compliance engine?
Yes. Rizzler supports softball-specific rules for pitch counts and rest days, on every plan. Set your governing body and the correct rules load.
One app for your baseball team in spring and your softball team in summer.
