Groundball % = percentage of hits will actually be ground balls. eg.. SP has a groundball percentage of 32%.. which theoretically means that 32 out of 100 balls will be on the ground... and 68 out of 100 will be in the air.

On Base % = percentage that the player has been on base. eg.. Player A has an on base percentage of .420.. which means that he has made it to first base safely 42 out of 100 times.

4 type pitcher? - This pitcher has 4 pitches? Or does this pitcher have the ratings of a 4 pitch pitcher?

hope this helps

Knuckleball pitchers will generally throw the knuckleball most of the time.

Tim Wakefield in real life throws a Knuckleball, a "Fastball", and a Curveball. But generally 85% or more of his pitches a game are the Knuckleball.

The pitch type are merely for play-by-play content and have no bearing on the game results at this time.

So a guy that only throws a knuckleball would be as easy to hit as a guy that only throws a fastball? Assuming their ratings are identical.

Sounds like this is correct

Yes, his ratings are what matter not the types of pitches.
