Tatis Jr fielding
-
I’ve always laughed at how SDS props up the numbers of the players they like, but I just noticed one today that made me chuckle. How is Tatis, who leads MLB in errors, and has by a long shot the worst fielding % in MLB at SS, a diamond on defense? JP Crawford won a gold glove last year and may win another this year and he’s only an 80. Kevin Newman on the Pirates who has 1 error for the entire season and leads all SS in fielding % is a 60 fielding…..

It will always be this way with this type of game, same thing happens in 2k MyTeam and the EA Ultimate Team games. They have to buff players that people like to buff their sales.

Truth… always will be about the money. Happens in real life where a “star” may not be the best player on the team but continues to sell jerseys so he keeps starting.

He’s also the poster child to this years game. They can only put his hitting up so far without making it unbelievable. So to make him a playable diamond, they finesse his fielding lol

Cover athlete; same with Baez last year; they kept him 85 all year and he started gold this year. Expect Tatis’ defense to be around silver/gold next year.

Yeah defense has always been the thing they most clearly manipulate to get a player at the overall level the want. I remember last year when Luis Robert was hitting like .160 they had his defense up at like a 96 to keep him a gold overall. Judge is another one. They gave him a 99 fielding even though advanced metrics show him to be a below average fielder.
