Appreciate this might be a big ask, and I'm not talking about animation or anything flashy - just a thought that it might be nice to illustrate starting line-ups, substitutions and base runners. Would be an awesome feature and I for one would find it more use than the blue diamonds- would also help to visualise and personify the teams better. Any thoughts? Cheers!

Really think it would help keep track of who's on the field in which position or on base if they could be overlaid on a diagram like the one on the ballpark screen and updated throughout the match.
