This is an awesome tool for tracking. Looking to use this for my softball team, we play 7 innings. I'm not great with formulas, but trying to insert and "format as line before" to add the 7th innings doesn't work to add to the history of positions played. Is there a simple way to add a 7th inning column?

Our league allows 4 outfielders but our team varies between 9 and 10 players. To avoid the lineup card having red I was thinking of adding a N/A player and giving them LCF each inning. Also we never play more than 4 innings, what would be the best way to clear those out on the lineup card? Just delete them? Thank you very much for this.

Wow, that’s a lot of outfielders! Unfortunately, the two versions only track 3 or 4 outfielders. But if you “Save a copy” when accessing the spreadsheet, you can add columns yourself. Have fun!

Hey Matthew, glad you find the spreadsheet useful. If you didn’t play a 6th inning, you can clear the positions in the cells for that inning, then add a “Did Not Play” note instead of deleting the column and potentially breaking a formula.

Hi Bryan, I'm trying to replicate your bug within the Lineups spreadsheets, but the cumulative game counts are working for me. They are based on the "Batting Position Order" data in the cells on the "RosterAndTracking" sheet. Would you please email a screen cap or share your Google Sheet with [email protected] so I can troubleshoot further? Thanks.

Great question! I’ve found copying and pasting positions and cells creates bugs in the spreadsheet. It’s always best to manually type in names and positions into the lineups. It seems like more work, but it will save you from having to start over when copying/pasting breaks the formulas.

Just to help a bit. Step with your back foot first, front shoulder stays closed to help with shoulder hip separation. Remember most guys who throw with clean mechanics were never taught how to throw. It was natural. Remember this when you have kids wanting to play.

Thank you! Good helpful tips! An important aspect this touches on, that applies to so many sports, is that your whole body can be involved to help with the form & efficiency of a particular action. The specifics of that whole body involvement, and of what works, I've found comes from drawing from the examples of others, combined with trying out variations of those examples, during lots of frequent practice. When you hit upon the specifics of that form which works best for your type of body, and get it all well ingrained & matured through lots of frequent practice, it's so rewarding!

If you show the thrower that throwing is a pulling activity the short-arm pushing type action will be less likely to occur. Throwing is the physics of pulling the ball from back to front with the release of the ball out in front. I know something about the physics of throwing.

Why do you turn your hand backwards like that when you reach back?
@BayIslandBaseball
@BayIslandBaseball 2 жыл бұрын
Great question! It really has to do with the rotation of your upper body and wrist when throwing the ball. These are "micro mechanics" but they will make sense and become apparent when you try to throw in slow motion. You will be able to feel the natural rotation happening with your upper body, shoulders and wrist.

In this video, the glove hand/arm extended out is really an exaggeration to help the player mirror the position with their throwing arm. As the player throws, they should naturally pull in their glove to their chest by bending their elbow. Instead of including all the "micro mechanics" of a baseball throw, I focused on "holding the ball up and back" to address the short-arm flaw. Thanks for commenting!

@@BayIslandBaseball you are just teaching bad habits....when a player extends their glove hand out all the way to their target it is not allowing them to get their front side/shoulder closed before they throw....also you have their throwing arm in the wrong position when their front foot lands....no one teaches someone's throwing arm to be in the L shape position when their front foot lands...when a player's front foot lands their throwing hand should be palm down with the ball in their hand..... backside of their hand should be facing up towards the sky....look at any baseball player at any level play catch or make a throw.....pause the video and look at what position their throwing hand is in once their front foot lands......what I am explaining is very easy to implement for beginners at the youth level.....it is definitely not too advanced
