Display Pull/Spray Tendency on Batter Profile for Widgets

Qwerty75 · 08-26-2011, 12:52 AM

This is a minor detail, but I would enjoy it if the batter's Pull/Normal/Spray tendency was shown along with his other ratings and stats on the player profile widget. It comes in handy when making defensive adjustments (infield shift) w/o having to open the batter's full profile. This bit of info also adds some color to the batter-pitcher matchup; knowing the batter's tendency helps to build the sense of expectation for the result of the PA as the p-b-p unfolds toward the delivery of the pitch.

A few other things should be done if this gets in:

o it doesn't look like the AI currently shifts infield or positions the outfield deep
o infield and outfield shifts would need hot keys to save a few mouse clicks. The menus take too long if you're doing it on most batters.
o the infield and outfield should shift by default to a logical setting so the player would only have to override rarely.
