Batting Performance
A hitter’s batting performance is based only on

As manager, you’ll want to base your decisions
on hitting stats such as: BA, H, HR, and AB. You
can find a player’s stats by pressing
when his name is highlighted.
The batting stats of a hitter with less than 100 at
bats will be skewed towards the batting stats of
an average player. The closer a player is to zero
at bats the closer his batting stats will be to that
of the average player.
For example, a player who batted 1.000 by going
1 for 1 will not get a hit every time.

right-handed pitchers than against left-handers.

advance all the runners on a bunting play. If there
is a man on third base, it assumes that you want
to suicide squeeze.
However, if there are men on first and third, it
asks you if you want to suicide squeeze or just
advance the runner from first to second.
On a suicide squeeze, the runner on third runs on
the pitch. If the batter strikes out, the runner
attempts to steal home plate.
