Evaluate players during tryouts. Score them across six skill categories. Then let the algorithm build balanced teams in seconds, not hours.
Coaches passing around Google Sheets, scribbling on clipboards, losing data between sessions. Every season, same mess.
Three hours arguing over who goes where. Snake draft confusion. "Whose pick is it?" Nobody knows. Everyone's frustrated.
One team stacked, another struggling. Kids losing interest by week three. That's not what youth baseball is about.
Score each player across six categories right from your phone. Hitting, Fielding, Throwing, Base Running, Attitude, and Coachability. Tap a score from 1.0 to 5.0, move to the next kid.
Every evaluation lands in one sortable, searchable roster. Filter by age, sort by overall score, compare players side-by-side. All coaches see the same data.
Set the number of teams. Hit one button. The algorithm assigns players to minimize score gaps between teams. Every team gets a fair shot. Every kid gets a real season.
No logins to manage. No training sessions. No software that costs more than the uniforms. DugoutDraft is built by people who have run these drafts, for people who still do.
Phone, tablet, laptop. Evaluate on the field, draft from the meeting room.
Player evaluations persist across sessions. Export anytime as JSON for your records.
The algorithm doesn't play favorites. It builds the most balanced teams mathematically possible.
When teams are balanced, games are close. When games are close, kids stay engaged. When kids stay engaged, they come back next year. DugoutDraft exists to make that happen.
