Sorry, seth, didn't see your question. If you want to make altitude a factor, assume a standard and then set bonuses or penalties accordingly. I don't know the research about baseball performance at different altitudes, but assume that at 500 feet, the standard ratings apply. Then do + or - 1 bonuses or penalties based on 500 foot increments.


Fictional stadium at an altitude of 500ft:

(Ratings) 2B 100, 3B 109, RBA 91, RHR 93, LBA 107, LHR 105

Same stadium at 5500 ft:

(Ratings) 2B 110, 3B 119, RBA 101, RHR 103, LBA 117, LHR 115

Same stadium at -500 ft (if you want to build it there):

(Ratings) 2B 98, 3B 107, RBA 89, RHR 91, LBA 105, LHR 103


It's kind of simplistic, but it will give you the effect you're looking for, I think.
