Variable fatigue rating for individual hitters

silentrob · 03-03-2026, 02:55 AM

Maybe someone has suggested this - the list of suggestions is pretty long - but I'd love to see different hitters fatigue at noticeably different rates. Maybe this happens subtly already? Not sure. But I'd like to see some hitters get tired really slowly - think Cal Ripken or Lou Gehrig as extremes - so they can play every game or nearly every game. Other guys might fatigue faster, especially with age. Most guys would just be average/regular speed, but some variation would be nice.

The game already does this with pitcher fatigue rates, seems like it should be doable for hitters, too.
