Maybe I just don't completely understand how this works though. I have my starting 3B Luigi,age 28 and he's right handed. Then I have a backup 3B, Zaragoza, age 26 and also right handed. Zaragoza needs his At Bats, he's about 90% filled on his build. So I have Luigi as starter verses left and right handed pitching, with Zaragoza penciled in as backup on both. Under management settings I have Luigi being pitch hit for either left handed or right handed pitchers in the 7th inning. So I thought at this point that Luigi would be substituted out for Zaragoza in the 7th inning, but it doesn't ever happen. Will a player only substitute in a pitch hitter of an opposite hand? Right for left or left for right? Or can I set up a right handed 3B player to be pitch hitted/substituted for another right handed 3B player in a particular inning- 5th thru 9th innings? Any info clarifying would be helpful.

You need to start the young kid and use management setting for him to come out in say the 5th inning against both rhp and lhp. Then in the 5th inning when the game engine runs the below algorithm, your vet will come into the game. From the guide: Game Engine Algorithm Discussion - Pinch Hitting This is a description of how the pinch hitting mechanism works in the game engine. Pinch hitter check is run before each batter (5th inning and beyond): If Not Too Earlier to pinch hit for current hitter Position Upgrade: Check bench players; evaluating overall and defensive value for current hitter's position Determine best overall player from the bench (whose defensive value is above some minimum) If bench player value is greater than current hitter + some margin Replace current hitter If 7th inning and beyond Determine the criticality of the hitting situation based on inning, outs & score If current hitter's offensive value exceeds the minimum value determined by the criticality of the hitting situation Keep current hitter Pinch Hitter: Check bench players; evaluating offensive value only Determine best offensive player from the bench If bench player value is greater than current hitter + some margin Replace current hitter
