| Hi everyone, I'm brand new here. I just got my first team. As the title suggests, what it the difference between bat control and hitting? Which one is more important when the game engine calculates whether or not a batter gets a hit? How are these things used by the game engine? Any help here would be great, because it looks like I have to set up my spring line up very soon. Thanks. | ||

| Welcome Max. Here’s the help overview on players, scroll through that to get some insight. To your specific question: Hitting: ability to hit the ball and put it in play. Bat Control: ability to make contact with the baseball, especially important for avoiding strike outs and successful bunting. Plate Discipline: ability to discern strikes from ball. Batters with good plate discipline will walk more and make the pitcher throw more pitches. |

| Its a great question. The definitions in the manual are pretty vague and inconsistent, so I don't think any of us really know the answer. I just try to maximize them both  |
