    as my title states, but for a little more detail:
    bust someone on paper with amazing stats that you just couldnt figure out whether it be poor performance/ weird swing or pitching mechanic. for me my initial thought was ortiz, he wa[censored]ing in the 250's for me for a long time which is fine, but he had maybe 3 home runs in a 150 at bats.howeverr queue ronal acuna the 99. I think hes at 130, cant hit a single thing with him and that was during the event with all star pitching and easy match ups.

    as advertised: tie between honus, mantle, degrom. tbh not going into it since you all probabyl have them on your squad now or have faced them enough

    surprise: eloy jimenez: the dude absolutely mashes in events I known which is a caveat but same in royale. some honorable mentions is garret crochet at 21-3 or something, and my luis castillo was 15-0 I think back when the game came out

    Bust - Thomas.

    I'm not hitting poorly with him, .600 average over 35 ABs but rather I have 0 XBH. All singles.

    Surprise - TA Trea Turner.

    I'm about to declare him the best card in the game. He is Adalberto Mondesi of 2020.

    AD - Chipper Jones.

    He just does the [censored] thing.

    Bust: Signature Series Mike Piazza
    Surprise: Signature Series John Olerud
    As Advertised: ASG Vladdy Jr.

    Maybe people have had luck with Piazza but he’s just a guaranteed out. Olerud, guy hits everything and his power is sneaky for whatever reason. Vladdy Jr, he just mashes for me.

    I almost wanna believe that they might've secretly nerfed Adley's FS. I hit for power in the .290s with his prospect card and seemed to get all sorts of hits to all fields. It's nothing but hard contact outs sprinkled with occasional bloop hits with his FS card

    Bust: Vlad Jr. Big time bust I can't hit water if I fell out of a boat with him
    Surprise Mantle: last year I struggled with his swing but this year I'm loving it. The pitching surprise for me was Fernando, I did not expect him to be as good as he was
    As Advertised: Frank is a beast.

    Bust - Adley - I raked with him all last year and even with his prospect card this year. His FS card couldn't hit water if he fell off a boat for me.

    As advertised - Chipper - That dude doesn't give a **** who is on the mound, he's going deep. Honorable mention goes to Wander Franco.

    Surprise - Robinson and Posada - I never hit well with either until this year. Something about those two changed in 21.

    Bust: Soriano- Worst swing in the history of this game IMO
    As Advertised- Verlander(He's better than degrom btw)
    Surprise: Piazza- I've always sucked with him in past years, I've heard they have tweaked his swing and that seems like an accurate statement

    Bust- Frank Thomas - no power, great single[censored]ter but no what I was expecting.
    Mike Piazza- same as above. Long swing. I'm always late.

    Biggest Surprise- George Brett and Wade Boggs- thought they'd both be slap hitters but they absolutely mash.

    As advertised- Mickey Mantle, Matt Kemp, Justin Verlander (just finally bought him and you were all right).

    Cal Ripken would like a word with you about Soriano...

    I've read this numerous times on here. For some reason, I don't see it and actually hit really well with him.

    And yes, Verlander is deGrom's Daddy.

    Agree with you on Thomas, but I'm hitting much worse with him. Even at COORS. The dude's swing sucks, especially on inside pitches. I don't even know where to start with the PCI when I bat with him, because I can't get great results no matter where.

    I'm literally batting in the 200s with him.

    Bust: Ortiz. Don’t know what it is. It’s HR or nothing. More often nothing

    Honorable mention: Soriano

    As advertized: Chipper. Self explanatory, best reward day 1, still best 3B available

    Honorable mention: Mantle

    Surprised: Verlander. Sure the numbers are there but he used to be easy to hit in every previous versions of the game. This year, wow! Best pitcher in the game IMO

    Honorable mention: Valenzuela

    Surprise: Jose Ramirez All Star card

    The wonders of this game amaze me and never let me down... J-RAM was a card I absolutely dominated with for the last 3 years. LS, Finest or whatever. This year, dude has been a bust for me...

    Also, everyone says Pedro sucks. I think he's great.
