Awesome! Btw, are you planning on rerating all minor leaguers or just the ones who are Calc eligible. Doesn’t matter much to me as long as the MLB guys are redone since FM19 did the prospects but figured I’d ask for clarification

Not trying to speak directly for Cyclonic but last year very few were touched that didn't have previous MLB experience. Most were handled by the full minors crew and they almost always have good ratings.

We won't be providing a projected release date yet, but we will provide updates as we go

Overalls will be adjusted for all minor league players based on depth chart.

This was the case last year

Do you have ratings for Frank Schwindel of the Royals?

Here is some discussion on the refinements to pitch edits this year

There are various schools of thought on how to do this. The TrueSim MLB 19 Franchise Roster will contain full pitch edits.

You can see the pitch edits, along with re-rates for about 1000 players here:

Let's use Chris Sale as an example.

Chris Sale primarily uses 4 pitches: a fastball (40.33%), slider (30.74%), changeup (15.67%) and sinking fastball (13.26%)

Accurate pitch edits for Sale, under the TrueSim Projection System, are:

Pitch 1: Running Fastball
96 MPH
63 Control
69 Break

Pitch 2: Slider
80 MPH
85 Control
65 Break

Pitch 3: Circle Change
87 MPH
82 Control
72 Break

Pitch 4: 2-Seam Fastball
93 MPH
62 Control
39 Break

How did we arrive at these calculations?

First and foremost, Brooks Baseball is the best source for pitch classification. The pitch descriptions, strike percentages and swinging strike (whiff) percentages drive the base calculations.

I always start with the Strike% and Whiff% and use 3 years of pitching data for the calculations (if possible) and pitch order.

Pitch 1:
4SFB
Strike percentage: 27.96
Whiff percentage: 13.32

For control, I use this formula: strike percentage x 1.75 + whiff percentage

We want to reward a pitcher for being able to locate pitches in the zone as well as effectively pitch outside the zone to induce chases.

Therefore, control = 27.96*1.75+13.32=62

For break, the formula I use is: Min(99, whiff percentage x 5)

What makes a hitter swing and miss? To make it as simple as possible: movement.

Therefore, break = min(99, 13.32*5)=67

Since this fastball has so much movement, I've switched it to a running fastball. If break is less than 50, it remains a 4-Seam Fastball.

The calculations of the other pitches use the same base formula, but are adjusted based on what pitch it is:

For the slider, the calculated movement value of 85 is subtracted by 20 to give us 65

For the circle change, the calculated movement value of 91 is changed to 72.

The 2-Seamer is left at 38

Curveballs are left as calculated

As a result, you get both an idea of how much command a pitcher has over each pitch, and you get a good visual depiction of each pitch. Curveballs will almost always have the most break. Sliders typically will break more than fastballs, but they may be harder to pick up. Sale's slider is an anomaly because it moves so much, and he has elite command of this pitch.

TL-DR: There are different ways to calculate movement and control. This is the one I've worked on, tested and tweaked for many, many hours.

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 19

Yes it does. And the pitch edits are better than they've ever been.

Spreadsheet will be released today

Work has already begun on inputting the ratings using the OSFM base.

OSFM base meaning RidinRosters? or CPR rosters?

Is there an ETA on this update? I'm super excited to check it out especially with the pitching updates. I'm patient and I know it's alot of work but was just wondering.

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 19

Just noticed you had BR Agg to 25 as the minimum. Any reasoning for that?
