Each time a guy steps up to bat in OOTP, what he did in the recent past has little impact on what he is going to do in that AB. The ratings have an enormous impact.
Aha! You are correct!...except I believe the stats offer a better summation of those ratings than the AI does with its formulae........

If the AI evaluated those ratings properly, then the player's stats wouldn't stink.........

And anyway, we're supposed to have a feature to allow this, but it does not work.........
