Anyone Else Seeing Upticks In CS and Pitchers Getting Hits?

texasmame · 05-25-2017, 04:04 PM

I've played out nearly 70 games so far this season (action pitch mode) and it seems that even the best base stealers get caught much more frequently than in the past and pitchers are mashing (at least compared to how they hit in prior seasons).

So - is it just me imagining these things?

I can't say I've seen either of those things. In my modern day Red Sox QS I've actually seen really high SB numbers from some players. Billy Hamilton of the Reds in 2018 went 78-8 on SB.

I have not seen that in any testing, but 55-57 passed through pretty quickly. Check your league modifiers, and make sure it didn't decrease the success rate. If it didn't, then brace yourself for regression to the mean.

I have not tracked this; however, I would agree that CS seem to be up and pitchers hitting better than in previous versions

Pitcher hitting has always seemed too good to me. I will say it seems to apply to human-controlled pitchers and not just AI.

No changes here except for stuff I expect to be different via modifiers.
