I had neutralized stats on and development engine rather than recalc, but still that's a hell of a development jump from season 1 to 2 for a guy that had 136 minor league ABs. Is this courtesy of his insane minor league HR record?
Update: Started again with a non-neutralized game and he's just whipped home 87 long balls in 1888. Checked his stats and he has a 255 power rating against both L and R pitchers. By comparison second in HR was Jack Clements with 23 and his power rating is 80 vs LHP and 99 vs RHP. |
Actually this might be a typo on baseball reference.
He shows only 16 hits and 11 runs but 32 hr.
So I think he maybe had 3 that year.
