Brian B asked a great question earlier this week, "What categories does ATB actually use stats from? I seem to remember
that RBI's and Runs aren't even input, I'm assuming wins and losses are
not input for pitchers."
I thought I posted these answers in this blog previously but couldn't find it. Forgive the re-post if this is old news!

I understand why runs and RBIs are not needed -- they require a team effort, except in the case of HRs. I'd like to see Sac bunts included, but that's just me.
ReplyDeleteHey Gambz, Each player is given a rating for Sac Bunts so the game knows how good he is it laying one down. By omitting the stat is just means it does not play a part in determining how good the player is at getting hits.
