Well, I'm not sure. My son was hitting off a tee when he was a little past 1 yrs old. He's 2 now and hitting underhand pitches real good. he also pitches to me (overhand) so I can hit. I think maybe it's a bit ummm.... not normal, but I'm not complaining.
The only thing he really can't do at all is catch the ball, but he loves wearing his glove and we're working on that.
I have a video of him hitting and pitching on break.com...

Maybe you all can tell me:

What if I don't want to GM and I just want to manage? How do I change the settings so that I can do that?

I only manage my team, no GM duties at all. I am not at home, but I believe you go to the Manager Options screen and set all to AI except for setting the Depth Charts and Lineups.

Edit - And Manager Mode as it was in OOTP 6.5 no longer exists, no more getting married and all that stuff.

Well I think that should return for OOTP 9,as a completely seperate game mode that you can select on the main menu.

Confused

I'm seeing all this jibber jabber about married and children and what not and I get the impression that everyone's getting married as a manager in their game and stuff and I have no idea how to do this. Anyone wanna splain this to me? I seem to understand that it was only in 6.5 (which I didn't have)? I had ootp8, not 2007, if that makes a difference. Also, I would like to do manager only as well, no GM, or at least try it, too. Did anyone find this possible? It would also be kinda corny to still be a GM but set all the GM stuff to AI because then you're still responsible for trades and whatnot even though it's the comp doing it.

On point, I tried to bring the Pitsburg Pirates back to fruition for whatever reason and found that a majorly flawed experiment. Before year 2 I made this major 20-player trade with Arizona (firesale: LaRoche and Freddy Sanchez--couldn't afford them) and thought it would begin the major turn around. So much for that. Year 2 was the final of my tenure with the Pirates. Luckily the Red Sox had fallen out of grace and signed me. Whoever their AI GM had been before me was a nutjob. I came into some crazy rosters.

I don't have a screen shot, but I played the Mariners for 13 years and then went to the Diamondbacks for 10. I won 2 with the Mariners, and 3 with the Diamondbacks. Definitely my best, but I haven't really had a season like that since then.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, there is a "manager mode" in OOTP9. If you create yourself as an unemployed GM/manager, then check job openings, you'll see all the minor league teams. If you apply as a manager of a minor league team, the parent MLB team controls all the roster moves, trades, etc...

If you want to just manage and not GM, set all the roster options to AI.

If i may ask, how did you get your team to win over 100 games so many times? Did you sign a bunch of superstars?

Pitching was the biggest reason. I had the same top 3 starters for 15 years, all 3 went to the hall of fame. Most of my salary was tied up in those guys so I was never able to sign the best free agents. My team was always the youngest to because when a star of my team got within one year of free agency.

Pitching to me is the most important position. I will make sure I have pitchers that have great endurance because then I don't have to spend much on relievers. My 3 starters would pitch 275+ innings a year and then my main reliever was my closer.

As far as offense, all I care about is speed and batting avg. My only home run threat is my first baseman. Most of my players, except catcher and first base, avg about 25+ steals a season.

One other thing I made sure to do was make sure I got a manager that also believed in pitching and a speedy offense. If you play with coaches on and want a speedy team then there is no reason to have a coaches that believes in the long ball. A lot of ppl don't put much stock into the manager they choose but I have found it to help out a lot.

Also my scouting budget is set to look for a lot of international prospects and the rest is set to draft. I live and die by my draft mostly. If I have a bad year in the draft then I would be screwed. In 2027 my draft was horrible and it showed in my last 2 years. All my good players had to retire or needed big contracts and I had no one to replace them with because of my 2027 draft.

Anyway this is my strategy for teams that don't make much money. Pitching, speed, and avg is all I need to win most of the time.

My History

Starting with all normal settings, besides drug suspensions and i changed the AI trade difficulty to hard. Coaches and scouts are on as well, all i do is the regular GM duties, I let the coaches do the rest and it has worked out pretty good...

Impressive...I haven't played this game in a couple years. Might have to wipe the dust off.

I was watching a fictional league develop and decided to start a manager mode. I chose the worst team that would let me manage, and tried my hardest to build for the future. I traded off some way overpriced players for the best prospects in the league, but the owner got impatient and fired me less than two years in. That team went on to win a couple of world series, but the bottom fell out when it was time to resign all their stars.
