Lineup suggester

Build the order on contribution — nine situational roles, each filled by measured production instead of batting average.

The suggested nine

Each slot is a situational role scored on per-PA point production against transparent weights. The chips are the exact contributions that earned the spot. Qualified hitters only (15+ PA).

Batting-average order vs the points order

The left column is the lineup a box score writes. The right is what situational contribution says — the arrows are the argument.

Batting-average column shows the top nine of 11 qualified hitters; movement is measured against the full batting-average ranking.

Slot weights are transparent by design — every suggestion above shows the contributions that earned it under the current point system. A future release lets coaches tune the weights to their own philosophy.
