Ok, inspired by the "Thoughts on OOTP6 and designing a baseball sim" thread, I decided to mess around in the one scripting language I know well: mIRC scripting. haha, anyways, before you all boo and hoo, lemme tell you it's good enough for my purpose here. Anyways, here's what I've got so far:
I've created what I call a "perfect" pitch and a "mistake pitch". I think these are self-explanatory, and will eventually have a bonus/penalty on the final outcome of the pitch.
I've so far only instituted a "Control" rating for pitchers, and here's the results so far, on a 10,000 pitch sampling per pitcher.
Pitcher 1: Control 10
Total Pitches: 10000
Balls: 7842
Strikes: 2158
Ball/Strike: 3.63
Perfect: 0
Mistakes: 1432
Pitcher 2: Control 50
Total Pitches: 10000
Balls: 5080
Strikes: 4920
Ball/Strike: 1.03
Perfect: 835
Mistakes: 931
Pitcher 3: Control 90
Total Pitches: 10000
Balls: 3689
Strikes: 6311
Ball/Strike 0.58
Perfect: 3223
Mistakes: 659
I'm planning on further adjusting these results with some more Ratings: Movement (aka Stuff), Velocity, and Fatigue. Eventually, I will have a "hitable" quotient, some pitches (perfect, with a high Velocity/Movement) will be darn near unhittable, while other (mistakes, with low V/M) will be big fat meatballs.
My initial thoughts is that the 'avg' pitcher with the 50 control rating might be a bit too good, I'd rather see a b/s of about 1.3-1.4 I think. It's a work in progress, and any input is very welcome.
