Yes, Scott, but is the ability to grind out infield hits pre-programmed or not? IOW, does a hittng rated 7 with speed of B going to get on base more frequently than a 7 hitter with speed of E?
This question is not as frivlous as it appears at first glance.
Also, is GB% randomly assigned? Logically, you'd assume that a pitcher with a high% would give up more IF hits, get more DPs and fewer SFs....Or are we asking too much of the stat engine?</strong><hr></blockquote>
I never said or thought it was a frivolous question, I answered with my own experience and did the research to present the stats that the thread's starter asked for.
Haven't done the studies... but in the instances where there is a close play at 1B (or anybase) I would assume the players speed is consulted... I really haven't paid too much attention to tracking the number of infield hits by speed or by pitchers ground ball percentage, so I can't answer that. I typically notice the faster players being safe more often on the close calls than the slower players.
