I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting.

TribeFanInNC · 09-24-2009, 09:03 AM

I like the OBP of .012

The batting stats of pitchers in a couple leagues I've seen has been dreadful in OOTP X. This seems to be a little different from previous versions where I think pitchers hit a little too good in some instances. IMO it has swung a little too far the other way. I'm considering doctoring ratings in my solo league in the off season.

Eddie isnt so 'Super'.. with the stick at least!

Sometimes, packing it in and calling it a career is the right move. Wow.

Recommendation from Hitting Coach to Southpaw Pitcher: Try batting Left-handed for Pete's sake!

Afino · 09-24-2009, 04:58 PM

And to think I got upset when one of my players went 0 for 26.....

i throw left and bat right... but then again I couldn't hit a 25 MPH fastball...

Yeah, in most of my OOTP leagues there is a severe lack of any good hitting pitchers...

That's fairly rare isn't it? I know batting left and throwing right is more common (English cricketer James Anderson is a real life example).

Personally I switch hit and throw right.

In that case I'm rare too, I throw left and bat right. I started out throwing right, but really had no range to my throw until my coach suggested I try with my left. I was amazed at how far the ball went on my first throw left, and never went back after that.

I'm lesft handed, but i'm technically ambidextrous, so yeah

Yes, says Ryan Ludwick.

ANd Rickey Henderson.

ANyway, never had this problem. Using a DH is a blessing in this regard.

Left-handed Badger · 09-25-2009, 02:48 AM

Course, one thing about the DH. Sure, you have one guy whose job is solely to hit. But, with pitcher batting. You have pitchers who bat, pitch, and field. But, yet those lazy position players almost never pitch.

Same here, but I'm naturally right handed.

Malleus Dei · 09-25-2009, 09:39 AM

0 for 87 with 47 K's? Looks like an OOTP X pinch hitter to me...
