MLB's current meta has significant compatibility issues with this game's meta.

I find this particularly interesting. I found myself going for 3 True Outcome hitters a lot, and I've never cared about Avoid K. But in PT, esp. after reading folks here and elsewhere, I've learned to use players like Gwynn 69 (.300 average over 3 levels and 11+ seasons). My only current Live 100 player is Tatis Jr., who has been an OK hitter and mediocre defender over 4+ seasons, most at Diamond Level.
