Tiger504 Joined: 06/17/2014 Posts: 1314 Kalamazoo Bloody Tigers IV.7 | I am under the impression that for position players they improve from experience through at bats but not games played. For pitchers, they improve from experience through getting batters out/innings pitched, not batters faced or games pitched. For fielders learning a new position, that is based on games/innings played and position training in the minors. Someone please correct me if that is wrong.

However, if a player gets little or no playing time, he still receives some minimum amount of experience (for being on the big league roster, practicing with them, eating sunflower seeds like a big leaguer etc.).

el_jefe_loco Joined: 02/25/2015 Posts: 73 Inactive | A follow up question specifically related to gaining "Fielding" skill/SI: Does a player need playing time in the field to boost the fielding skill? Or can he improve his fielding while playing DH or simply getting ABs? Example: I have a 2B who needs significant major-league playing time and ABs to develop, and he is still a poor fielder despite having full "2B" experience already. I would love to keep him at DH and not jeopardize my team defense while he gets his ABs, but I still need him to gain fielding skill. |
