Over these seasons my pitchers have outhit my pinch hitters. I am aware of the concept of sample size, but thats over SEVEN SEASONS. In real life pinch hitters hit probably about .220. The last 10 seasons in RL the lowest BA for a NL team pinch hitting is .152. One season of pinch hitting around .100, alright, could happen (sample size). But SEVEN?

I just checked: over those mentioned 3 seasons my pitchers were 58 for 327, 54 for 331 and 37 for 322. That's 149 for 990 in total which comes down to a .151 BA. At the same time my PH were 52 for 486 in total, a .107 average.

These statements still hold true. I haven't checked for all seasons but as you can see in the above comment my pitchers hit .151 over three seasons, higher then my PH. Below you'll find an excel sheet with the total numbers for all the NL seasons I mentioned in this thread. Below that an Excel sheet with numbers for the average NL team in RL the past five seasons. And finally PH totals for each NL team in 2011. As you can see, a large difference between RL and in-game.
