Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 19

Final release will be today, at some point. Wrapping everything up in a bow and finalizing the NL.

Worked on re-calibrating arm strength ratings for the majority of the league's outfielders yesterday. A new formula was implemented that uses relative hold rate and kill rate; each outfielder is rated based on how their hold rate and kill rate compare to the league average at their outfield spot. The old calculation was based on the overall fielding skill of the fielder with a position adjustment that slightly boosted arm strength for CF and RF under the old baseball logic that more often than not, the LF has the weakest arm. Under the new calculations, that isn't always the case, but it is interesting that it still occurs quite a bit.

And Billy Hamilton still checks all of the boxes in CF; even the old system was smart enough to know this. He may not wow you with Laureano-like throws, but he is still near the top of the league with above average hold and kill rates in CF. Another notable change is Mike Trout, who's arm strength is now a tick under league average. The old system wasn't smart enough to calculate this.

Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback. These rosters are the best available and your feedback is a big reason for that. In starting this project, my goal was to improve the longevity of franchise mode by improving sim results and AI logic, as well as making sure the gameplay truly reflects the nuances of baseball.

I'm excited to finally dive into franchise and see the results in their full glory.

This is really helpful information. I assumed there were a lot of variables that went into these ratings, and we can't look at just the ratings themselves to understand the rationale behind them.

Updated the spreadsheet on the OP with the final ratings

I included codes:
2019 = added to sheet or ratings updated
2018 = no updates
OF = updated fielding ratings for OF, may include batting update in some cases
FLD = updated fielding ratings for INF

Definitely looking forward to DL'ing when I get home. I've always liked your work, and this project is much appreciated.

Out of curiosity, what stance did you use for Yordan Alvarez?

Can't wait to play with these rosters! Thank you so much for the time and effort put into these. Quick question.. how do you determine arm strength? Ronald Acuna Jr. who has made a HUGE jump in his defense this year has pretty poor ratings. He has a 3.3 Def WAR which is 27th in the MLB yet his ratings don't remotely show that.

Ronald Acuna Jr. who has made a HUGE jump in his defense this year has pretty poor ratings. He has a 3.3 Def WAR which is 27th in the MLB yet his ratings don't remotely show that.

Acuna is actually a below average defender, when you look at the advanced metrics:

Acuna's Hold% at LF: 60.3 percent
League average Hold% at LF: 62 percent

Acuna's Kill% at LF: 1.4 percent
League average Kill% at LF: 2.2 percent

Acuna's Outs Above Average:
2019: -2
2018: 4

However, he does have great range and instincts at LF, which suggest he may improve over time. His 97 speed and 84 reaction show that.
