Newbie Request

Post by ShutdownCorner » Thu Mar 11, 2010 8:37 am

I haven't actually scored a game yet, so I may already have this feature. Is it possible to have a batters cumulative season statistics broken down as to how they performed against left handed/ right handed pitchers? Also, just the opposite - Is there a way to break down a pitchers performance against Left-handed/ Right-handed batters. Switch hitters would always bat Left against Right-handed pitching and bat Right against Left-handed pitching.

I will be using this software as a tool for a project I'm doing with the Strat-o-Matic Baseball boardgame. A few times a game, a fielders range and fielding ability come into question and an additional dice roll is needed first to check if the fielder has the range to get to the batted ball and second to check his fielding ability.

For Example: Duke Snider is batting for my All-Time Dodgers team against my All-Time Angels Team. Jackie Robinson leads off from third base. Nolan Ryan winds and deals. Duke hits a hot smash into the hole at short. Jim Fergosi's fielding rating is a (3e17). Instead of me having to dig out Jim Fergosi's card to find his fielding rating, is there any way to input his fielding rating into his card, so I could retrieve the info inside iscore?

Sorry so long. Thank You.

We do not currently show cumulative stats broken down by left handers vs right handers. We have it on our enhancement list for the future.

We only keep stats that we can calculate, and have never seen any calculations for "Fielding Rating". Did a quick Google Search, and could not find any information on it either. Is that something specific to Strat-o-Matic?

We are going to be adding some fields to players that you can use for whatever data you want in the future... maybe you can put this information in those fields when they become available.

Having a field where I could enter that data would be excellent.
Appreciate your time.

The fielding rating will be something used by Strato-o-matic I'd wager, just as APBA has many ratings for players that aren't standard baseball stats.

Was thinking of referring the user to you... we know you have been using it for APBA. We just don't know the similarities / differences between Strat o Matic and APBA.

I really don't know much about Strat-o-matic (always wanted to, never got around to it). I use the APBA cards while playing to get the APBA stats as I didn't want to enter them into the iPhone (that would take way too long).
