I researched my last 3 seasons and found that my passed balls rating method needs some refinement.

In 2002 the MLB catchers ranged from 2 to 20 passed balls(first stringers).

I found that in my leagues catchers rated "0" averaged less than
1 passed ball a season.

"1" rated catchers averaged 1-2 passed balls.

"2" rated 3-8 passed balls.

"3" rating 9-15 per year.

and "4" rating averaged 16-20 each year.

MY NEW REVISED PASSED BALL RATING WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:
"1" for excellent catchers (0 to 5 PB's per season)
"2" for good catchers (6 to 10 PB's per season)
"3" for average catchers (11 to 15 PB's per season)
"4" for poor catchers (16 to 20 PB's per season)

I WILL NO LONGER USE "O" AS A RATING AND WILL USE "1" VERY SPARINGLY.

I hope OOTP5 will correct the passed ball rating. Currently you will have 4 to 8 times more passed balls if you use its PB rating based on "number of passed balls per 162 game).

Comments and suggestions appreciated.
