1. Well, maybe not IGNORE but at least greatly devalue. I suppose you still have the effect of fouling off a bunch of pitches, hoping the defense makes an error on a batted ball, and whether you think you'll get more out of "productive outs" than GIDPs.
Correct......it's not that it doesn't matter, it's just that it's already taken into account in the Contact rating (which I could do without).....

Same thing with Stuff and Movement and Pitch Ratings and GB%, respectively.....

I'd personally like to see all the collective ratings take a holiday.....
