batting lineup
Team's hitting order
A batting lineup is the order in which players take their turns at bat in baseball or softball.
Managers set the lineup strategically, typically placing contact hitters early and power hitters in the middle.
The manager posted the batting lineup in the dugout.
The term extends to any ordered sequence of participants: Tonight's batting lineup of comedians looks promising.
