The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 25

[Cycloniac]

With Sim Injuries at 8, I ended up with 18 minor league pitchers on the injury report league wide at the end of the regular season. I'll take my chances.

One thing I'd also consider, for position players anyway, is games played and how durability factors in.

While injuries are lower than real life, I wonder how games played is compared to real life since guys miss days due to low energy, depending on their durability rating.

Cy, I'm averaging around 7-8 k's against the cpu/game. Is that the norm from what you're seeing? Sliders are updated to your most recent set.

Yup, league average this year is 8.26 strikeouts per team

I noticed that Shinnosuke Ogasawara's last name is misspelled (it's in there as "Ogaswara").

In the 2024 season, this how many players reached various games played milestones:

160: 9
150: 62
140: 97
130: 137

In my franchise (where Sim Injuries started at 6, and got bumped up to 7 and then 8), these were the numbers:

160: 14
150: 58
140: 108
130: 148

At the end of my season, there were 51 position players with an overall of 85 or higher, excluding catchers. Of those 51, 46 played at least 130 games, and all of them played at least 100 games. In 2024, 37 of those 51 played 130 games.

Even if injuries end up a little high for position players, I'm okay with that trade off. The lack of injuries to pitchers especially just means that no one uses their depth. In my season, there were two different teams that only used 5 starting pitchers for the entire season. On average, teams only had to go outside their top 5 in the rotation for starts 17 all season (in 2024, teams went outside their top 5 38 times, on average).

So if I've got to split the difference a little, so be it.

So what sliders are you using at this point?

Also, has anyone come up with a way to keep ohtani from pitching in this year's release? That is if you want to line up his pitching ability time line with real life? SU2 is where I used him last year and as long as I caught it he didn't pitch if there was an injury to a starter it kept him there...this year after 2 games I looked after simming ahead the dodgers games and he pitched against the Cubs for 1 innings with a win and a save from each game out of SU2..I know its a little to do with the bullpen management improvements for AI. But has anyone come up with something?

He will not pitch if you have him LR1 slot. I put another LR in LR2

Let me know how it goes for you. In the past, injuries high can also increase the variance you get in terms of which teams do well and which don't. I guess that's like real life too though. Injuries can really mess up a season.

Any way to get Hunter Greene the outlier 2 trait so he can pitch 102mph consecutively? I believe he has outlier 1, but I'm not seeing anything faster than 101mph on his fastball.

Could I get a javy baez re-rate factoring last year too

I see Jackson Holliday's vision was dropped. Is that a mistake? His K% is down to 23.1% this year (after being 33.2% last year).

I think Holiday's vision was bumped a little bit initially, but it's where it should be now

56 (22.6 percent in my dataset) this year, but 24 (33.17 percent) last year.

It's not final. I'm working through the AL central right now.
