Re: CPU swing and miss?

This is from a relatively well pitched CPU vs. CPU game with lots of contact and as such it might not be as illuminating, but as you see there are quite a few misses in the strike zone:



It might be your approach that might be causing CPU to make lots of contact. I'm curious what your pitch breakdown looks like... (that is if you are so inclined to look at this sort of thing).

I know a lot of human players throws too many strikes, and if you (or CPU) can expect to see stuff in the strike zone most of the time, making contact isn't probably all that hard. I wonder the same kind of thing is happening with you.

That was a nice breakdown. My strike percentage hovers around 60-66. I'll see if I can send you one of mine next game. Not sure how to do it but I'll figure it out.

My thinking is this all has to do with the player ratings for vision and discipline. Some players vision seem too high in many cases. Starter K ratings are also extremely low. Go through every teams starters and checkout their K ratings. I think you'll be surprised how many are rated in the 60's. Cueto was only a 82 and price was somewhere in the 70's. These are two players with over 240 strikeouts last year and in price case he had 270. That alone tells me it should be in the 90's.

Nomo by any chance do you have the MLB average of swinging strikes? My guess would be anywhere from 12-15 percent.

Re: CPU swing and miss?

I have not had a problem with getting the CPU to swing and miss early in the AB also have gotten even the best hitters to miss on pitches.

It's about 16.3% (swing & miss per strike... c.f. http://www.baseball-reference.com/le...pitching.shtml)
