    Hot/Cold Zone Logarithms

    (for lack of a better phrase)

    If the standard success rate of a good hitter is 3/10, where success is defined as getting a basehit, and common sense says that hotzones would have slightly higher than average success rates while coldzones would have slightly lower than average success rates, what are their approximate success rates, and how drastically do they change between difficulty levels?

    Good question. I've addressed my issues with the hitting zones in previous posts. It's too easy to pitch at and around them, and is my big problem with the game,even if I knew the percentages involved.

        Addendum:

        I realize that hitting is more complex than that. It's most likely a function of distance hit, rate of travel, and position relative to fielders. However, it still stands to reason that hotzones yield more favorable outcomes than the clear or cold joints.

            Yes,but as I pointed out, it becomes a distration in 2 player games because your obvious tendency is to throw to those cold zones, so what kind of hitter is Barry Bonds in his only cold zone,low and inside? Have an option to get rid of the zones.

                    Might be better if the hot/cold zones faded away like the pitch cursorr does....

                            Any chance that the zone could be removed in the PC version? That way you would have to learn where to pitch people. Makes sense.
