modred -> Historical Replay Question (11/27/2007 3:44:25 AM)
|
I've seeded a league with real player from 1939 and the pitchers' ratings just seem too good. This is one of my first forays into the historical side of things having to date primarily played with fictional players.
16 batters from 100 to 80 in contact.
12 batters from 100 to 80 in power.
14 batters from 100 to 80 in eye.
25 pitchers from 100 to 90 in stuff, in fact the top 25% of pitchers only takes me down to 82.
Similarly the top 25% for control takes me down to 75.
The average pitcher in the AL in 1939 3.9 BB/9, 3.6K/9, 9.8 H/9 and in the NL 9.5 H/9, 3.1 BB/9, 3.5 K/9.
A random pitcher Pete Appleton gave up 104 hits in 102.2 walked 48 and struck out 50 (9.2 H/9, 4.2BB/9, 4.4 K/9) and got ratings of 89 stuff, 48 velocity, and 76 control. It seems odd to be that far below the league in control and still get a 76 in rating.
I may have answered my own question in that this may be how the engine needs to simulate the pitching to contact of the era. However, the shape of the curve still doesn't seem right to me.
What determines velocity on the import? 45 year old Fred Johnson struck out 2 in 14 innings while allowing 23 hits and got a 100 in velocity? Most of the guys with 100 in velocity pitched a very small number of innings.
Is there a way to configure the minimum number of at bats and innings when importing players into a draft pool rather than a strict replay?
