Speaking of pitchers, I was wondering how OOTP handles their batting ratings. Obviously, there have been some good-hitting pitchers. Most of them get fewer than 100 AB's over the course of a year (well, in past years when starters were workhorses, they might get 130 or so..), and thus fall under most gamers' "adjust" setting for AB's.
Several versions ago, there was no problem with this. But I think in v22 I had done some testing and found that all pitchers, regardless of IRL performance, sucked as hitters...
I do have one example from a recent v 23 (for other purposes)... Don Drysdale, for the period 1963-68:
Real Life: 195 avg, 10 HR's in 614 AB's, with his top season being 1965 (.300, 7 HR's in 130 AB's).
OOTP: .197 avg, 14 HR's in 554 AB's, with top season being 1965 (.279, 9 HR's in 172 AB's).
Based on the above - which is using 1-year recalc - I'd say it's working as it should... Very small sample size, though... More testing needed...
