A more forgiving assessment of Acuna's defense weighted more towards his play this season would look like this:

58 Arm Strength
78 Arm Accuracy
92 Reaction
66 Fielding

Not sure how fast he is IRL, but I was just spectating a random play now game, Miami @ San Fran, and Steven Duggar just hit an inside the park home run, clocking in at 14.76 seconds around the bases. He's rated at a 74 speed.

BTW, loving the roster and settings. The CPU vs CPU play is generating some awesome varied games with a lot of different plays, such as this one and a double play where Longo tagged a guy running to third and then threw to first for the DP.

I also CPUvCPU'd a Cincy @ Colorado and the game was a HR fest (seriously, like 5-6 home runs in that game at least) that Colorado came back to win 10-8.

He's really fast

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 19

One thing I find confusing is how a Catcher's fielding rating is obtained. Fielding, I would think, should be based on fielding errors only. An example of this is a guy like Yadier Molina who, according to Fangraphs has made a total of 0 Fielding errors in the last 3 years; Baseball reference has him with 2 fielding errors, yet his fielding rating is 69; SDS has him with a 70 rating. Yasmani Grandal has a 90 fielding rating yet has made a total of 8 fielding errors in those 3 years with 4 fielding errors made last year. What am I missing?

Fielding is based on pitch framing data

Reaction and blocking are based on errors, wild pitches and passed balls per 9 innings

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 19

Very interesting. I was unaware that Catcher's could "steal" a strike in the game. Maybe on borderline pitches? I wonder why SDS doesn't have "Framing" as an attribute for this instead of using "Fielding"?

I'm unsure whether or not stealing strikes happens in The Show, but I do see that this year, pitch framing is a part of how they calculate catcher defense

Yasmani Grandal is a very good example they pointed out in one of their dev streams prior to release, although very briefly.

Whether or not it happens in the game, I believe it is a valuable skill and catchers should be credited for it in the rosters. Managing a pitching staff and game calling is a big reason why players like Sandy Leon and Tucker Barnhart are in the major leagues.

Are you setting the bullpen up a certain way to make sure the ai uses it in a smart way? Regardless, nice roster man.

Nope, I've seen great bullpen usage so far

Loving your roster so far but am using armour & swords sliders. Are you ratings tuned better for your sliders set? Dunno whether to plug these in or carry on?
