There are a few deities who are low in one statistical category, but they will make it up by being high in another category...with the exception of one... Roman God Jupiter has assembled the least impressive body of work thus far, especially in the last couple of years. Jupiter is tied for last in career batting average (.424), last in Hits (1058), last in HRs (339), last in RBIs (815) and last in Runs Scored (845). The lone bright spot in Jupiter's numbers to date have been his Doubles (281), where he is tied for 8th overall amongst the deities.
While his HRs have always been on the low side, Jupiter's first three years were good as far as average and RBI, hitting .453/67/152, .440/77/177 and .448/77/195. The past two seasons, however, his average has nosedived resulting in seasons of .392/54/136 and .387/64/155. His .387 average in 3008 is the lowest recorded average for any deity and his 54 HRs in 3007 is the lowest HR Total for any of our deities in a season. To put that 54 in perspective, in an injury-shortened season which limited him to only 111 games, Khonvoum hit 64 HRs.
Jupiter has never been to the postseason, has only one 3 Player of the Week Awards and his Career History shows nothing noteworthy between "Won Gold Glove at Catcher in 3006" and "Hit 3 Homeruns against El Paso, driving in 7 runs on 9/4/3008"
His talent levels remain high and a couple have gone up as he is currently 120 in Contact, 154 in Gap Power, 136 in HR Power and 158 in Eye. So, Jupiter has all the tools he needs, he just can't seem to get them working as of yet. There is still plenty of time to go as all of our deities are a scant 25 years old at this point, but Jupiter is the deity with the most ground to cover.
