I know when I was looking at stuff, I was trying to get the rates accurate to MLB, so it's possible the old rates were wrong (don't always assume what used to happen was correct!). I know for sure that we used to have too many popups, and I think I adjusted a few of the other stats to get rates that more closely matched real life.

Roughly speaking, in MLB right now, LD are around 20%, GB are around 45%, and FB are around 35%, of which 10% are infield fly's. Keep in mind I believe we report slightly differently than you will often see on other sites (whether LD or IFFB are reported within the FB stats or not).

If you do want to change, you can adjust the groundball percentage in your league stats settings. However I believe the default setting should be close to the real life stats.
