Oh, I had mentioned this in another thread recently and am reminded of it by something in GTAltman's comment:
We live in the world of actual data. Can we have (or have an option for) the "Strategy Setting" options based on just actual Win Probability instead of having to try and archaically construct a vague approximation of WP through combination of inning and score?

Exit Velocity stats for hitters and pitchers. This would be a stat That is already in the game log, but having it as a sortable Stats could be an excellent tool to tap into to see if a guys 320 BAVG but having an avg of 70.3 MPH EVO could say that he got a little lucky. Same for a pitcher w/EVO of 92 and a babip of 260 [can you say lucky).

I could be wrong on this (so if someone can correct me, please do so) but my understand is that with the current game engine the EV values for hits are purely cosmetic - ie: "Joey Bagodonuts hit a double to the gap based on the engine, so let's assign that a EV of X which is common for doubles to the wall". I suspect that might be why they haven't incorporated it as a sortable stat, as it would be misleading (since instead of EV being a process stat like it is in RL, it would be a result-stat masquerading as process).
