Hitter tendency missing on PT2.0 AH

[daves]

Hitting tendency was included in PT1.0 but is excluded in PT2.0.

I try to avoiding extreme pull left handed hitters. I do have a Bellinger, but he is struggling to hit in the low 200s for me in Perfect against right handed pitchers? I am assuming in the game his extreme pull is hurting. I wonder how he hits so well in real life?

I am done with extreme pull lefties. Low BA regardless of contact.

There are 6 Cody Bellingers in my Perfect League and they're all hitting between .183 and .253

The ones hitting over .210 are being platooned.

Cody is not doing well in the .411 either. I got lucky on my Ruth buy. I have the 94 rated Ruth which is a NORMAL hitter tendency. The 99 Ruth is an extreme pull and is batting in the low 200s in my league.

Hitter type is relevant when buying batters, but it is lost in the AH. Please put it back???!!!

100 George Brett, who is an extreme pull hitter, is about to win his second batting title in three years for me with a .352/.410/.540 slash line. 100 Mickey Cochrane? Extreme pull with a .301/.390/.504 line at the catcher position. 100 Yaz? Extreme pull and .297/.385/.483.

Yes, I have 99 Ruth and he is hitting just .227/.338/.444, but is leading the league in HR.

These are all lefty extreme pull hitters, playing in a neutral home field. They're not all doomed to fail.

Can I ask... is the batted ball profile "flyball" or "line drive" hitter? If so, maybe they just don't hit enough grounders to be affected by the shift?

Excellent question.

Brett: Flyball
Cochrane: Flyball
Yaz: Flyball
Ruth: Flyball

You're probably correct, then, that they don't hit enough grounders.

99 Ruth does seem to be consistently low in the average department... but then again, Brett has 105 contact vRHP, Cochrane 91, and Yaz 95, and I'm limiting their exposure to LHP. Ruth is low-80s and is my 162-game DH.
