The two best hitters in Lancer history cover both options - Soto is closest to my ideal OF build, and he never had any contact issues. Conversely, Ortiz had no Plate Discipline and never drew more than 38 walks, yet hit everything. OPS is about the same but Ortiz has 13 points of AVG, while Soto has 17 points of OBP. If all else is equal having more guys on base gives you more opportunity to score runs. My rookie season we had a great batting team with a majority of PD>BC guys (excepting Ortiz, Fletcher), and it worked, and I've stuck with it ever since.

Good PD certainly helps cover for low BC, but I'm not sure its a good trade. I value BC because I value both OBP and OPS. A walk is great, a hit is better. A walk never scored a runner from 2B. A walk doesn't put the hitter into scoring position. At the end of the day they are both very valuable. I just think getting hits is more valuable than getting walks. Also depends on your lineup needs I suppose. If you are trying to fill a top of the order guy, PD all the way. But if its a cleanup hitter (which is the build I was assuming), I would rather have BC. You need to make contact to put it over the fence. Updated Sunday, October 25 2020 @ 11:33:22 am PDT

Two possible interpretations: 1) There is too much RND involved so Arm doesn't have enough impact on OAs. 2) My opponents run much more aggressively. Meaning I still get OAs, but I am giving up more extra base hits.
