Taking a quick look at another site you are not alone especially with regard to being drafted by Orioles.

im a 2b and just got random drafted to blue jays

I have a created a SS. Really enjoying it so far.

Wanted to ask, in case anyone else has been experiencing the same thing: how do you upgrade arm strength? So far, the only way I have been able to is in the training activities between games, and it is rarely one of the attributes to train. Seems no matter what, I never get arm strength as an attribute I can boost in game.

Pretty sure this is a bug. I went back to college with my LF 3 times, and every year I got drafted by the Orioles

Purchase some equipment that has arm boost that will help

So it appears that for the first month or two of the season with my various RTTS characters that I will need to use all of my training sessions increasing the various attribute CAPs meaning for many categories I won't ever be allowed to improve on them with my game play performances until I get a chance to raise the CAPs. Not sure if this was triggered by the new player archetypes or something else is in play here. Now this is not a show stopper, all of my RTTS players are all now playing at the MLB level and they all have decent skills to be still competitive in the games. PS: I am enjoying the enhanced presentations of MLB 19 and am also enjoying the slightly better hitting and fielding mechanics of this release. So I am in no way disappointed with my MLB 19 purchase. It should be a fun year.

It is being addressed.

Found a cheesy way to get 5 free Diamond Bat Skins (all 5 of them have +6 CON and +6 POW)

-Import a 99 OVR Hitter from MLB 18
-Select an Archetype
-Play a game
-After the game ended you'll have a reward screen giving you a Diamond Bat Skin based on your Archetype
-back out to main menu and Import the same character
-rinse and repeat by choosing a different archetype

You also get Diamond Gloves for the pitchers based on Archetype as well.

EDIT: Screencapped the Archetype Gear

Is there any way to turn off these random challenge things? not liking them at all, be good to have the option of skipping them when all I want to do is pitch without worrying about failing at some random challenge
