I am currently in Diamond 351...

I learned a little about how the game engine calculates Contact ratings (I never would have guessed that BABIP...hidden from sight when evaluating ratings on basic player profile) was such a big factor.

I always looked at contact from both sides of the plate, and put a lot of emphasis on eye/discipline. Avoid K's rate was always a concern, but when evaluating certain players like Ruth, Williams, and Hornsby, I always sidestepped it because of the contact and eye discipline numbers.

I don't know for sure if this is certain, but it almost looks like eye/discipline don't factor into a players expected offensive performance.

Any thoughts, based on your experience?

Kyle
