Yeah exactly i'm getting well over 2 per game.

I may be misunderstanding you on the percentages.
Doubles were between (somewhere like) between 18-22% of all hits in MLB with approximately 20% being league average. So basically 1 out of every 5 hits. And league average for Home Runs was around 15% of all hits (I may be a little bit off there). I probably completely misread what you said but I'm on a phone and my wife is rushing me lol.

But anyway like you said its under 2 doubles per game for most teams. I'm hitting over 1 double out of 4 hits approximately (26%). And a lot of triples too but it just may be a weird rash of triples before I go on a long triple drought. Not sure exactly how to remedy it, just hoping it comes down over time. Other than this small item I'm seeing good numbers

Hey Mike, great to see your sliders back this year, particularly the ones that don't directly affect individual hitting (as I'm just not as good a hitter as you). Getting those fielder, injury and computer pitching sliders right gets so much in place for me to find my own balance for the game. the amount of detail you go into in that video as well will be so helpful in finding my correct hitting sliders, so thanks a bunch!

This is more of a general slider question, but applies to yours as you have separate sliders for simming to playing, but I'm dabbling with 30 team control for the first time this year and was wondering what that means for sliders? Can I set the other 29 teams on my 2nd profile to be on the simming sliders, while keeping my main team on my 1st profile with the in game sliders, or does it not work that way? (I'm a complete noob with 30 team control, I don't even know if I can have separate sliders for the 29 auto teams)

Working well with classic pitching._. over 8 games 61% 1st pitch strikes and right around 64% overall. Directional hitting also playing great. .. Nice concept Mike, as usual... will keep testing

Only one game & I’m digging the set!

Gave up 3 1B’s & 8 2B’s (not a typo)

Will play a few more games & report back...

I have used Mike's sliders for years with directional hitting, and they generally work really well. He doesn't test them with directional, so he won't be able to tell you for sure. Best advice is to try his set out as a base, and make slight adjustments based on what you're experiencing statistically after you've played a decent sample size of games.
