If you run & hit with anything below 65 steal rating, they will suck and it won't be worth it. Baseball analytics showed long ago that low success rates cost runs, so I almost never run & hit with...

Whether I exploit a cheat code or not does nothing to take away from the fact that it exists. The reason I still use it is that I have been playing this sim for 6 years with gradual SB increases but...

And this is why game issues like this persist season after season. This one goes back to at least version 19 and most likely a lot longer than that.

This isn't just about gawdy SB numbers. It is...

My team is really really good from trading over the last six years. League totals have been steady - I think matched to 2014 season so a lot less strike outs than you are probably used to seeing. ...

Not exaggerated. Screenshot is in current season. Widdows stole 200+ last year. I don't pad stats by stealing 3rd with 2 outs, never steal home, etc.

Since there is no penalty for run & hit...

2. You can take a pitch to combat a pitchout. If the count goes 1-0 another pitchout attempt is less likely, but could occur.

I have seen this same phenomena for years (most of my experience is with version 19). 50%+ of the teams in that league will be very short of pitching. Even with 40-man rosters, you'll see 30+...

My opinion is that OOTP should forget about the major league rule and make all players fulfill their 4 or 5 minor professional seasons before Rule 5 eligibility.

With all of the top 100 prospect...

I believe you are correct on this which is why I don't bother with taking pitches at all. There is no real life strategy at play that the game reflects (same chance to SO or BB). But SB is...

Unfortunately, when playing out games yourself and using run & hit, only the steal rating matters as there is no penalty for run & hit. A 20/80 run with a 65/80 steal rating can steal a good 50...

Agree completely with this and have wanted this for several versions. Would also be great for one-pitch players where the AB stays 1 pitch unless the steal attempt occurs first.
