Managing a baseball team in Chandler used to mean juggling dry-erase boards, endless lineup changes, and all kinds of in-game chaos.

Local software engineer Roman Cervantes remembers those days too well as a volunteer assistant coach for his son’s Little League squad.

Smudged lineups and broken markers were the norm, not the exception.

After one too many in-game headaches, Cervantes realized it was time for a fresh approach—and his idea soon became reality in the form of a baseball team management app aimed directly at Chandler baseball leagues.

Building on over 15 years in tech, Cervantes developed an all-in-one tool that handles rotations, position planning, pitch counts, and more—right from a phone or tablet.

This means no more frantic erasing or last-minute scribbles; the app adapts instantly to changes on the fly.

Fair play is at the heart of the design, as coaches can guarantee every kid gets their turn on the field with game-by-game tracking features.

Even better, the risk of a lineup vanishing when a kid leans into the dugout is gone for good.

Early testers include coaches from local leagues and beyond, who report that the system brings much-needed calm to hectic game days.

But building software proved to be only half the story.

Turning an idea into a real business required new skills and the right support.

That’s where the ASU Innovation Center and its Endeavor program came in, offering mentorship and a collaborative office environment for Chandler entrepreneurs.

For Cervantes, the move to downtown Chandler marked a real turning point.

Within his first months, he secured a partnership with another local startup—evidence that the city’s focus on innovation is paying off for small businesses.

Chandler’s thriving tech corridor and growing youth sports scene set the perfect backdrop for apps like Dugout Master, which are changing the playbook for coaches and families alike.

With a free-tier option and a familiar subscription model, the baseball team management app is now available to baseball and softball coaches across Chandler and beyond—allowing the next generation of sports leaders to spend less time erasing mistakes and more time guiding kids on the field.

As the city continues to embrace new ideas, the blend of technology, community, and passion for baseball shows no sign of slowing down.
