Righty vs. Lefty question
Righty vs. Lefty question
Hey all, I'm new to the app and I am loving this so far. Brought a buddy over and joined a couple of leagues and I'm obsessed. :) Question for baseball, I didn't see any lefty righty splits for stats, I have my starting lineups set with some decisions for their batting handedness, does it factor in to their performance?? Sorry if it's obvious and I am missing the stat line.
Re: Righty vs. Lefty question
@ISU_Doubledown hi - it's always fun to hear from new members who are enjoying the site!
Our database does not have split stats, so the sim uses only the total real stats. That said, there is a blanket percentage boost somewhere in the 3% range for opposite matchups - for example, a RHB facing a LHB pitcher will get a tiny boost and vice versa (a RHB facing a RHP will get a tiny deduction).
What I usually say is, use it as a tiebreaker when making out your lineup. If you have two players who are close in stats, go with the better matchup. There should be more details on the Edit Lineup screen in the gray text box.

I can't speak for everyone else but on my browser , if you go to the compiled stats screen and put your cursor over the players avg it shows lefty/righty splits
