Type of at bats a batter has had in game missing!

[tnixen]

Does anyone besides me find it a little strange and disappointing that you can bring up what type of at bats a batter has had in game? The only possible way to see this info is by looking at the Jumbotron during the players at bat or to read though the long game log

If a batter goes 4 for 5 it would be nice to be able to bring up what type each at bat was. I am just kind of surprised this info is missing from the game menus for so long.

Example

Jose Altuve

First at bat Strike Out
Second at bat Double
Third at bat Single
Forth at bat RBI Triple
Fifth at bat Single

And I still say the in between inning batter due up overlays should show 2 for 4 type of stat next to each batter as well.

I really hope these 2 things will be added to MLB The Show 17.

I like studying the batter log and the pitcher logs (not the gamelog but the gameplay statistical diagram in the menus) throughout the game, but an occasional walkup overlay with that feature would be welcome. I remember when it used to be there sometimes.

Actually in MLB The Show 16 you do see sometimes example 1 for 2 with a RBI Double on an overlay when the batter is coming to the plate. That's all good and fine but we need this info somewhere in the stats menus for every at bat.

I'm pretty sure it is available in batter analysis menu.

If it is I can't find it

In some ways it provides more information than you were asking for and in some ways less. It provides information for each pitch. It would be nice is they would add what you are asking for. I believe they normally start a wish list when they release the new game. You should add this request to the wish list. I'dd add a vote for it.

This was all done from a phone and uncut but hope that it shows how they track this information. All of it is tracked in great depth but it's not included in presentation aside from occasional batter walkups. Tnixen is basically saying that plate results should be completely presented somewhere within the gamelog or boxscore and more present during ingame presentations, which I agree.
