Babe Ruth should have 1st Base!
-
How big of deal would it be to play him at first without it being a secondary? I don't know how big of a penalty a player receives being completely out of position.

It would be a mess. The player model wouldn't have the right animations and would drop lots of tosses to first.

A couple years ago you could do this, literally could put any player at 1b and they would do fine. But they took that out. If 1b is not a secondary the player will drop every ball thrown to them

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I feel like if Babe Ruth had 1B secondary it would make every other 1B that is released afterwards almost obsolete. Who wouldn’t want to play Ruth’s maxed out hitting attributes at a position where fielding doesn’t seem to matter.
You could say David Ortiz makes every other 1B obsolete as well...Options Man. Options
Why would the 3rd best 1st baseman pre-Babe make all the others obsolete lol

I get what you are saying but if Stan the man, who played 1 game at first That season got the secondary position, than babe is definitely going get it!
Yeah it would make sense to give Ruth 1B based on the fact that he did play there during that season. However, the fact that Musial can play 1B makes me question whether or not they’ll give Ruth 1B as well. They just came out with Musial, would they really outclass him at 1B this soon? It’s like if they dropped Lou Gehrig in this program right now.
Obviously I will not complain one bit if Babe does indeed get 1B and he will definitely be playing there for me. I’m just not getting my
hopes up yet.I would say if Babe played the position four times as much as Stan did (four games to one game) its almost certain he will have it as a secondary as the positions of awards cards reflect that certain season compared to prime cards or SS
I hope you are right! Would love to throw Babe at 1B on my squad and be able to keep an outfield of Trout, Mantle, and Walker. Another thing that might point to him having 1B secondary is the fact that they gave him the awards card instead of his signature series from MLB 19. What could possibly change between the two cards? Maybe it is that 1B secondary

I was one of the few who actually played a 1B in MLB 17. That 99 finest Votto was amazing.

One of the pre-18 streams, they plugged in Ted Williams at 1B and ran some plays. He dropped routine throws 75% of the time.
OOP penalties are HARSH. Don't do it, kids.

Aaaah Beltran, miss him

Also expect Roger Hornsby to have 125 contact and 95-100ish power. His stats that season was .400 average 39 homers and 41 homers. Donaldson mvp season he only hit 41 homers. And he’s got 105 power right?

Yeah Hornsby might be even more insane than he was last year

Hornsby will be the best 2B in the game. Only ones that will tell you otherwise are “Didi is free” weirdos and people who refuse to use anyone but alomar

His card was crack last year so I expect this card to be end game second baseman. Only down side is he only played second that season and only had 5 SB. So I don’t know how that will reflect with speed but should have silver fielding like last year.
