I asked ChatGPT to write a backstory for my Cy Young winning fictional pitcher, heres what it typed.

lencombs · 02-18-2023, 04:25 PM

Luis Valades was born and raised in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He grew up in a family that loved baseball, and it quickly became his passion too. Despite his smaller stature, Valades had an incredibly powerful arm and was a true power pitcher. He threw 99-101 mph, which immediately caught the attention of local scouts.

Valades went to tryouts but was not selected in any of the drafts. Determined to make his dream a reality, he continued playing baseball in the Dominican Republic and improving his craft. One day, a scout for the Hong Kong Pegasus, who was visiting the Dominican Republic, saw him play and was blown away by his pitching. Valades was invited to the Pegasus' tryouts in Hong Kong and impressed the coaches with his impressive fastball, curveball, and changeup.

Valades was offered a minor league contract and quickly rose through the ranks, impressing coaches with his power and control on the mound. The nickname "Dopey" was given to him by his teammates, who admired his calm and friendly demeanor off the field.

Last season, Valades had an incredible year, leading the Pegasus to the playoffs with a 24-6 record and a Cy Young Award win, recording 384 strikeouts along the way. Despite the team's best efforts, they fell short of making it to the World Series, but Valades remained determined to help his team succeed.

Valades' hard work and dedication have made him one of the most exciting players in baseball, and he's quickly becoming a fan favorite in Hong Kong. His power pitching style and impressive strikeouts are a highlight of every game, and he's become one of the league's most feared pitchers. Valades remains focused on leading the Pegasus to their first World Series title and continuing to improve his game, hoping to cement his legacy as one of the greatest power pitchers of all time.

This is the info I entered in ChatGPT. The more info you enter the more elaborate it gets. I could see using it to quickly write newspaper articles for whatever you wanted in the write/edit news section.

Write a backstory for my Starting Pitcher in my fictional baseball universe in the game Out of the Park Baseball. His name is Luis Valades. He is 5'9" 170 pounds 25 years old from the Dominican Republic. He won 24 games and the Cy Young Award last season pitching for the Hong Kong Pegasus with 384 strikeouts. He was an undrafted scout discovery. He led Hong Kong to the playoffs but not the World Series yet. His nickname is Dopey. He is a power pitcher and hits 99-101 on the radar gun.

I asked it for a game summary...

Quote:

In an exciting game on November 15th, 2049, the Puebla Pericos triumphed over the Gainesville Gamecocks by a score of 4-2, securing their victory in the Winter Tourney Championship.

Right fielder Leonel Fonseca led the charge for the Pericos, putting together an impressive performance at the plate. Fonseca went 4-for-5, knocking in 4 RBI and crossing the plate 3 times himself. His outstanding efforts were key in securing the win for his team.

The game got off to a tense start, with both teams coming out strong and trading blows early on. But it was Fonseca's explosive offensive output that proved to be the difference-maker in the end. His clutch hitting helped the Pericos build a lead that they would not relinquish, despite a late push from the Gamecocks to make a comeback.

With the victory, the Puebla Pericos were crowned Winter Tourney Champions, cementing their place as one of the top baseball teams in the league. Fans and players alike celebrated the win, with Fonseca's performance standing out as one of the highlights of the game. It was a thrilling conclusion to a hard-fought tournament, and a moment that will be remembered for years to come.

Here's what I inputted...

It's great with all sorts of challenges and shows great range. It likes to invent some of the details you don't tell it, like a student bluffing through a book report for a book he only skimmed... but if it could understand a Game Summary, or a box score, or clubhouse dynamics, or owner's visions for team, etc... it generate quite an immersive expeience. Give it several years... will be fun to watch it develop.

The Game · 02-18-2023, 07:33 PM

So because of this and the other 2 mentions of ChatGPT I've seen i decided to try it for a write up of a series preview. i won't use this today but i still like it alot.

It sounds like the Chicago Sox have a challenging series ahead of them against the Orlando Juicers. Based on the information provided, it seems that the Juicers have a strong starting pitching rotation with Pedro Lorenzo and Ron Clark, as well as a potent offensive lineup featuring Nick Hall, Bob Jones, and Mark Little.
To be successful in this series, the Chicago Sox will need to have a well-rounded game plan that accounts for both the Juicers' starting pitching and offensive threats. Here are a few strategies they could consider:

Attack the bullpen: If the Juicers' starting pitching is as strong as advertised, the Chicago Sox may have a difficult time scoring runs early in games. However, if they can get to the Juicers' bullpen, which may be weaker than the starters, they could have more success. They could try to work deep counts and force the Juicers' starters out of the game earlier, forcing the bullpen to pitch more innings.
Focus on defense: With the Juicers' strong offense, the Chicago Sox will need to be sharp defensively to prevent runs from scoring. They could focus on positioning their defenders in the right spots to take away hits, as well as playing smart in the outfield to prevent extra bases.
Exploit weaknesses: While the Juicers have a number of stars, there may be some weaknesses that the Chicago Sox can exploit. For example, they could try to pitch around Nick Hall, who appears to be a particularly dangerous hitter, and focus on getting outs against the rest of the lineup. On the pitching side, they could try to run up the pitch counts of the Juicers' starters to get them out of the game earlier.

Ultimately, the key to success for the Chicago Sox in this series will be a balanced approach that accounts for both the Juicers' strengths and weaknesses. By focusing on smart baseball and executing their game plan, they could come away with a successful series.

Thank you for turning me onto this. i will use it when i can devote the time to give it more information.

I doubt it. The ChatGPT bluffs it in the absence of data. It would need to be able to read the Game Summary, even the understand the WPA shifts to accurately give a succinct account of the game. It's best with the summary prompts setting the stage for where you want to go. But again, the Game Summary, the standings, the turning point in the game, how players are faring, all that stuff is in the game. A bot would just need to know where to pull it from to bring it together. It's years away but it's an interesting point in time atm. To be able to see where tech is going and so quickly too.

No, ChatGPT líes. The situational elements it included were totally fabricated.

BaseballMan · 02-18-2023, 10:17 PM

I can see that it could be helpful but it just seems like its just making a list in the first post.
It doesn't seem to flow like a story.
It just seemed like it said
Player did this
player did that
this happened to player
player got rewarded.
Its like listening to a rookie call a game compared to say Vin Scully.
However i do think it will only get better could be a great tool to assist the developers. As long as they don't assume that it would be fine by itself.

You telling me this reminds me of when I went back to college in about 2005 to get some credits when I decided to go into Education instead of Design.

I took a Government class from a professor who was also on the County Commissioners Board, and when she gave us the prompt for the essay that would serve as our take-home final she said the following:

"Just to let you know I'm going to have some important meetings coming up the week after these are due so I'm not necessarily going to have the time to cross-reference everything you turn in and you'll have to put yourselves on the Honor System here."

I did a few playoff game summaries by copying the OOTP summary and telling ChatGPT to rewrite it in a ESPN 30 for 30 documentary style lol. I'm going to feed it a box score and see what it comes up with, or maybe the game log.

This is more than a little unsettling, to be honest.

boxs score nor game logs work very well, but game description does a decent job. I've been using it as a starting point and then editing it into final form.

The key to getting a good story is to give ChatGPT a lot of details, then spend some time editing it to your liking.

If it was up to me, I'd require the essays to be hand written. That way they might at least learn something writing it out.

Would this Chat software be better than the current game recaps done by OOTP?

Could OOTP use this software to recap games?... the current recaps really need improvement... half the time the AI doesn't pick the Player of the Game correctly.

I can't speak for OOTP, so I'll say "theoretically" yes. The biggest problem is the software tends to "make stuff up" as fill-in if it needs it. That wouldn't go over well with our group. I like using it as a starting point, but I almost always have to "polish it up" manually.
