What matters the most completely depends on what pitchers are on your team. That's step 1. There's a couple ways you can go with that: heavy groundball staff (higher BABIP but less XBH) or a heavy flyball staff (lower BABIP but potentially more gap hits). Get a bunch of pitchers that fit the profile you want to build to first. If you have a lot of strikeout pitchers, the defensive value will matter less overall. Generally regardless of what type of pitchers I pick, I tend to focus on movement and control with an adequate level of stuff. High stuff is for teams where you have a weaker defense behind them but isn't bad for this type of team either.

I thought Park Factors was the step before deciding the type of pitching staff you have? If you have a HR friendly park, you should be looking for GB Pitchers and focus on having an elite infield. If it is a Pitchers friendly park, then FB Pitchers with elite outfield.
I am likely completely mistaken on something here but wanted to see if this logic is correct as this could help develop a more defensive team on PT by editing your Ball Park Factor to suit your teams strengths?

What is the ideal height for 1B as have never taken this into consideration when retraining a player here?
