Work the Count and Pin View/Split

polydamas · 03-25-2018, 10:03 AM

Firstly, I'd like to be able to pin splits between the batting screen (RHP, LHP, RHP+DH, LHP+DH). It's a bit annoying to have to switch between split vs. right and split vs. left every time I go between them.

Secondly, I'd like to have a work the count option for batters when playing games. I don't want them to take the pitch, but I also don't want them swinging away. I want them to protect the plate and work the count. Getting a high pitch count on my opponent's ace is a strategy I'd like to better employ. It could also be called "Be Selective." There could also be separate "protect the plate" command. I was thinking for how you might do this is to buff/nerf attributes for example:

"Be Selective:"
-5% K avoidance
-5% Contact
+10% Eye/Discipline

"Protect the Plate:"
-10% Eye/Discipline
+5% K avoidance
+5% Contact

I think working the count and being patient, protecting the plate etc are charactwristics of hitters. Some play that way. Reggie Jackson never will. Not every batter can be like Boggs, Bonds or Nellie Fox. So I don't think you can make this a play called for hitters like a bunt or hit and run. It is how some batters approach hitting and others do not. So you need to draft for things like contact, intelligence, hard to strike out, etc
