OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Too many guys thrown out from the outfield

I'm been managing the games live and I noticed that way too frequently the players are described as having a great arm or a cannon for an arm, and I definitely noticed there are way to many players thrown out at the bases, going from 1st to third, or scoring from 2nd, on singles.

So I decided to check out what's happening. Now there is no easy way to do this since OOTP doesn't have a way to check just for outfield assists, so I have to look at assists from outfielders but subtract their assists as an infielder if they played also as a infielder.

As of Aug 6th of my season, 4 different players have more than 20 outfield assists. Now that is just 2/3rds of the way through a season. Which means I'm looking at 4 30+ outfield assists in the same season.

Now in real life, since 2000, there have only been 3 times an outfielder have gotten 20+ outfield assists in one season. And currently through 60 % of the season no one in MLB has more than 7. So basically we're looking at outfield assists happening at least twice as frequently in OOTP compared to MLB.
