Pinch hitting

edit: Some of the differences can be attributed to modifiers it seems. I forgot to neutralize them so triples happened at a 10% lower frequency and HRs at almost 20% less.

And the totals you're talking about are your teams totals or league wide totals? If you already answered that one, I apologize, I looked but didn't find it but I'll look again.

Nope. Fictional, although I wouldn't rule out a difference between the quickstart and fictional either.

I don't think I specified. The numbers were league totals although my own team's numbers were similar. Fewer home runs due to the park but a few more doubles and triples for the same reason.

Ok, thank you.

Actually i'm curious how much you've taken park factors into consideration especially in regards to the mlb quickstart which has some of the most ass-backwards park factors I've ever seen.

Mmm, so the problem might only occur in the MLB quickstart then.

OldFatGuy, were the 50 seasons you mentioned all MLB quickstart or also historical?

I am playing fictional, but I don't understand how/why park factors would affect only my team's pinch hitters and no one else? I'm pretty sure my factors are whatever the game generated when I created the fictional league cause I don't remember changing them.

If it were park factors, wouldn't all hitters numbers be affected, not just PH?

Fictional. Versions 8-12.

I agree it's out there in terms of reasoning but I can't leave anything out. The sheer number of at-bats might make it less obvious among everyday players is my thinking.

OK guys, I looked at this again and could not find an issue in my tests. However, I did tweak some code which could have caused an issue under certain circumstances. So, please test this again with the upcoming patch

Thanks Markus, will test it after the next patch. Not sure how you did your tests, but the problem only occurs when playing out your games.

I hope so. In my custom league after two years our team, which has led in runs scored both years, classed dead last in pinch hitting. The other teams are in the .200 to .275 range.
