CPU baserunning aggressiveness

In the 50+ games I’ve played, a common theme I’ve noticed is that the CPU is way too aggressive on balls hit to the outfield. This results in the CPU often being thrown out by a mile at second base because of trying to stretch a single into a double. Has anyone else noticed this?

I should note that I play on Legend.

Default, but regardless, that wouldn’t impact the aggressiveness—especially if I’m throwing them out by thirty feet.

Are you throwing all your throws to the cutoff? I've yet to see it happen when I throw the ball directly to 2nd.

I've seen this happen but not frequently enough for me to be overly concerned about it. I don't know how to quantify how frequently its happening, because its happening infrequently, but it does happen.

I'm not sure the culprit, but I'm thinking it may have something to do with the routes the fielder is taking to field a ball in the gap or down the line. I have no definitive proof this is the cause, but I've sent this via feedback to SDS to look into for a patch and/or next year and beyond.

It does feel like a cheap out at times, but given that I get clumsy with my fingers at times running the bases, I consider it a fair trade/draw in outs run into.

It does happen when I throw to the cutoff. I’ve actually gotten caught napping at times. When I’m paying attention, it’s an easy out though.

The routes idea makes sense. It also seems to happen when the outfield is playing deep (and therefore has to come way in to field the ball).
