batting lineup

A “batting lineup” refers to the strategic order in which a baseball or softball team’s players are scheduled to bat during a game. This sequence is carefully crafted by the team’s manager to maximize scoring opportunities, balancing power hitters, contact hitters, and base runners to create an effective offensive strategy. The batting lineup plays a crucial role in the flow and momentum of the game, influencing how a team approaches each inning at the plate.
