Study on Importance of Batting Ratings

DerekJeter2 · 12-23-2005, 04:48 PM

I did this study because two GMs in my league were very mis-informed about Eye being so important to winning games.

My study consited of 6 teams:
Avoid K’s: All Hitters were 50-50-50-50-100
Contact: All Hitters were 100-50-50-50-50
Eye: All Hitters were 50-50-50-100-50
Neutral: All Hitters were 60-60-60-60-60
Power: All Hitters were 50-50-100-50-50

Also, I made every control factor possible even. Here is what the players looked like (besides the ratings litsted above)
All Arms were 50, All Ranges were 50 on all hitters and Pitchers.
Catchers: .985 Fielding, 3 PB
1B: .990 Fielding
2B: .970 Fielding
SS: .970 Fielding
3B: .965 Fielding
RF: .990 Fielding
CF: .990 Fielding
LF: .990 Fielding

And for speed: (Speed-Stealing-Instincts, Bunt, Sac Bunt)
C: 10-10-10, 1-1
1B: 15-15-15, 2-2
2B: 45-45-45, 3-3
SS: 65-65-65, 4-4
3B: 25-25-25, 2-2
RF: 50-50-50, 3-3
CF: 70-70-70, 5-5
LF: 50-50-50, 3-3

Also, Financial System Disabled, Minors not simmed, Rule 5 Draft Disable 1st Yr draft disabled, Coaches/Scouts disabled, Injuries disabled. All players were Normal in Clutch Performance and Consistency. All Pitchers were 60-60-60, with SP having 75 endurance and RP/CL having 25 endurance. All pitchers had 3 Holding Runners, 5 Velocity (88-91) and the same 4 pitches: Fast, Change, Curve, Slide.

Here are the results:

Contact:
2005: 116-46, 1st
2006: 116-46, 1st
2007: 107-55, 1st
2008: 103-59, 1st
2009: 118-44, 1st
Avg: 112-50, 1st

Notes: 4/5 players won MVP
Won World Series 4/5 years (2005-2007, 2009)

Power:
2005: 87-74, 2nd
2006: 86-76, 3rd
2007: 83-79, 3rd
2008: 100-62, 2nd
2009: 78-84, 5th
Avg: 87-75, 2nd

Notes:
Won 1 MVP
Won 1 World Series (2008)

Neutral:
2005: 73-89, 4th
2006: 88-74, 2nd
2007: 78-84, 4th
2008: 83-79, 3rd
2009: 83-79, 2nd
Avg: 81-81, 3rd

Eye:
2005: 85-77, 3rd
2006: 76-86, 4th
2007: 87-75, 2nd
2008: 68-94, 5th
2009: 78-84, 4th
Avg: 79-83, 4th

Gap:
2005: 68-94, 5th
2006: 69-93, 5th
2007: 56-106, 6th
2008: 69-93, 4th
2009: 82-80, 3rd
Avg: 69-93, 5th

Avoid K’s:
2005: 57-105, 6th
2006: 51-111, 6th
2007: 75-87, 5th
2008: 63-99, 6th
2009: 47-115, 6th
Avg: 59-103, 6th

I had predicted it to be:
1. Contact
2. Eye
3. Power
4. Neutral
5. Avoid K’s
6. Gap

The Food Chain:
Contact>Power>Even Spread>Eye>Gap>Avoid's K's
