How Hitting Ratings Work

[@snabin7]

Well then.... apparently I've had it all wrong this whole time. I've always prioritized contact and power, but this is great insight on the other stats. Love your content!

Obviously, it's really complicated, but prioritizing contact and power isn't bad, just keep in mind pretty much everything but gap power is good. It's about finding players with good combos and using them effectively in the context of your team.

I appreciate that you mention that gap power is dependent on era. I like to play in custom leagues or in eras with fewer homers, bigger ballparks, and conditions that make gap power really good!

Can you link the babip calculator?

[@sgtmushroom]

Yes, but I must warn there are some points where it's breaking down for some reason. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15UUaNLus6llr7e2a7ovupzfmGkGSBZOMGey2uBKuFoA/edit?usp=sharing

Do you have a video of why my scout only discovers players that look like they have never played baseball
