Matrix Games Forums

While thoroughly enjoying my Washington National's season I started to notice pitcher's seemed to bat better than they should. I did a cursory check of batting averages, in the game and in real life, and the game average seems about 60 to 100 points higher. I play every Washington game and am into July in my season. Anyone else notice this or is it just a fluke?

I would agree with this post.Am playing 1952 season as Dodgers--manage all their games-- while I have not compiled any significant data; based on my observations I would agree that pitchers appear to hit above real life averages.I will continue to track this in a more formal manner.

I would say its just a fluke. Have a look at the end of the season and they should pretty much be in line with real life.

Burleigh Grimes hit over .600 for me in the WS

But seriously, seasonwise I think for the most part looking back on my league file they did about average (although I do see a couple .300+ pitchers).


One thing I did notice were the SAC Bunt completions seemed very low. What factor covers bunting? How does the game distinguish between a good and a poor bunter?

Pitchers batting averages seem high to me as well.  I just completed my 1927 season and here are the averages for my starters.  Remember their contact rating is 2/20.
