2018 MLB BaseUp! Rosters (All Star Break) 1.1.0

Thank you for sharing these files with us. However, I have some suggestions.

• Aroldis Chapman usually pitches above 100 mph, in the game he reaches 99 mph max.
• Some star pitchers have very low stats, for instance: Justin Verlander (2th Rk with 2.05 ERA), Scherzer (9th with 2.41 ERA), Kershaw (in his case is justified in some measure).
• In some players there is a great difference between power stats for LHP and RHP. Ex: A.Judge, 96 vs RHP and 65 vs LHP. If these stats are based in a low performance against LHP that is well reflected in the game by contact stats (70 vs RHP and 49 vs LHP). Another example, Benintendi (Power 80 vs RHP and 36 vs LHP).
• J. Baez has 40 in aggressiveness when stealing, as he is the 9th in the ranking with 18 SB, including home.

However, thanks a lot and I hope that this feedback help you to improve your work.

Thanks for working on these rosters for all these years Gordo. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

For pitchers when you say stats I assume you mean control.  Control of pitches is not based on just this season's performance.  I've been doing these roster for years and they are a build year after year.  The reason for this is because players fluctuate over time.  I can't possibly keep up with living rosters.

As far as batters it is roughly the same approach based largely on BA and Slg%.   And yes there are clear differences in their splits, especially like Judge and Benintendi.  See here:

Benintendi:  https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=beninan01&year=Career&t=b

I know you look at and think of Judge as a brutish hitter, but look athis basic stats vs lefties. Overalll it's very sub-par.  Thus the splits largely reflect the stats.

Since they are both only in their 3rd year I take into account their splits for their career because while they may improve later in the season, maybe they won't and hit a backslide... you never know.  Now if you want to put out a rosterpack of your own at the end of the year for the 2018 season you're more than welcome to.  I did make a video that I posted in the forums if you care to view it.  

Thanks for the heads up about Chapman and Baez.  The game allows speeds of 100 max which means you may hit 102.  I'll correct Baez for the next tweak or update.
