And anytime that I do run it is ALWAYS via run & hit.

That being said, I've never had a guy swipe even 100 bags in a season let alone put up the totals that Strat is talking about. Granted, I've never specifically constructed a roster on that attribute.... but still. I can't argue his results, the numbers don't lie.... but my god something seems off there lol
This is, as I said, caused by jamming that button until you hit 2 strikes. The game is one pitch per at bat with a little gloss to allow single pitch strategies. You’re going to be able to cheese it, the same way you can cheese the game by taking until you have 3 strikes and wind up with 1500 walks a season.

Should the devs spend time on this? To be honest the vaaaaast majority of people don’t play their games out like this.
