My studs I put in both, but I don't have a lot of studs. I have quite a few potential studs though, people who put up pretty good numbers against opposite handed pitchers, like someone who at the end of the year has 50 runs, 10-14 HR's and 50 RBI, maybe a little less. They usually have a bad average against same handed pitchers, but since most of those have only a small sample of AB's against those same handed pitchers, it's hard to really say? So what kind of...criteria...do other experienced managers use when making these decisions? Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks. | ||

It shows hand specific obp and slg on the lineups page. If you have a high caliber player with a very good or great hitting candidate, that is someone you want to at least give a shot at against both handed pitchers. |

michaeltodd2 Joined: 02/20/2018 Posts: 325 Paradise Valley Cubs III.3 | Yep, i do that, thanks. But how about a player who doesn't have great hitting, but good BC and PD, with a really good OBP? | ||

I suppose if the guy you're referring to was an excellent fielder or base-stealer (to be solid lead off guy), it would warrant giving him a shot. After you give him a shot just look at how he does long term facing like handed pitchers, and it should play itself out. |

hurstdm Joined: 01/18/2017 Posts: 576 Inactive | I find platoon differential important, both from minors and major stats. Some Broken Bat guys are very one-sided and some may possibly have a reverse differential. | ||

michaeltodd2 Joined: 02/20/2018 Posts: 325 Paradise Valley Cubs III.3 | Hmm...that reverse differential, you don't view that as a statistical outlier or do you think some players are just set up to bat better against a same handed pitcher? When i see a batter with better stats against a SHP i have to wonder if it's just a matter of time before it starts breaking the other way. Thanks for the input. | ||
