Batters
In the upper right corner of the game window, you'll see a
section that displays the current batter. The tabs in this area can
be used to look ahead at the next two batters in the lineup. This
can be very important when choosing pitching strategies.
Each batter card shows his name, how he bats ('BLsp' means he
bats left and is a spray hitter), his real-life batting average,
on-base percentage, slugging percentage and power rating versus
left- and right-handed pitching (in this image, .000/ .000/ .000
indicates left/right splits were not available for the 1935
season), how well be bunts ('Fr/Fr' means that he is only a fair
bunter in both sacrifice situations and when he's trying to bunt
for a base hit), and three sets of statistics -- the current game,
year-to-date stats for your DMB season, and the real-life totals on
which his ratings were based.
NOTE: When you are playing an exhibition game, the
year-to-date stats are always the same as those for the current
game, because cumulative statistics are not compiled for exhibition
games.
