Reaching Phase 1 Parallel is probally best way to evaluate.

With Hitters. Just on the 10 points you get for each AB, It will take 50 AB's just to get to 500 PxP if you did not earn any other points from a BB, H, D, T, HR, RBI, RS or SB.

Therefore I ALWAYS look at how many AB's it took that card to reach 500 PxP to be a Phase 1. This lets me see easily who is producing very well or so-so or horrible for me. Any card that gets 500 PxP before getting to 25 AB's will show he is producing great for me. His swing caters to my personal play style & my swing timing. Any getting to 500 PxP within 25 to 35 AB's will show this card preforms for me so-so. Not bad, but not great either. If it takes him more 35 AB's & getting as close to the complete 50's AB's, Then this card is trash for me. It did hardly anything or close to nothing at all.

Using 2 MA cards as examples. It took me only 19 AB's to get Owen Miller to Phase 1. But it took me 44 AB's to get Taylor Ward to Phase 1. I just finished getting Dawson & Riizo at the same time 3 days ago. So far Rizzo is at 231 PxP & Dawson is at 243 PxP so far. The both each have 21 AB's & at this pace, it so far looks like it will take them 40 to 45 AB's to reach Phase 1 if neither of them 2 gets hot all of a sudden. This is very disapointing because looking at thier attribute & overall card rank. I was expecting for them to play better for me then what they been showing so far.

This is why I am very hesitant & cautious to buy cards off the market that sell for 150K & up. Eventually down the road I will buy them all for sake of collections. But I do NOT rush to buy them with intentions of using them & taking that gamble if they will play good for me or play badly for me.

Who else uses this method to evaluate a new card or will look it to trying it?

This sounds like a pretty good system.

its not a bad system sure but i feel like ops and slg percentage will tell you just as much if not more on how there doing

Going forward this is the plan. Thanks for sharing

It only really works for power hitters but not a bad way to evaluate if you are still including other factors.

I sound like a good system, but u can get used to guys
I had Reynolds fotf card, he did terrible first 20 games, but had no one to replace him with, now iam batting over 300 with him

Yeah you can get good with any card. I only use specific players that I want to use, regardless of their swing. Sometimes it takes a bit to get going with a certain card, but once you get used to them, you can be good with anyone. It also helps online by noticing how people pitch to certain cards because a lot of people tend to have similar strategies based on their stance.

I do the same basically only play with guys I like, I never Pay attention to someone's swing tbh, either I can hit with em or I can't

Never get how someone's swing would influence how well he hits anyways

I used this tonight when I got POTM Rizzo to P1. This is all from the current, and last, Event.

G: 53
AB: 31
R: 5
H: 8
HR: 3
RBI: 4
BA: .258
OBP: .258
SLG: .548
OPS: .086

Pretty sure the only reason I got him to P1 so fast was the ABs.

I'm 10 pts shy from finishing the AP POTM Program; so I'll probably leave him in my Event lineup until I finish it.

But I doubt he stays in any lineup other than one that requires POTM cards.

It's way too small a sample size. Over time, with the same level of input, the cards will play exactly to their listed attributes.

In the beginning I absolutely raked with gold live series Rendon. He's been replaced multiple times over with cards with better attributes. I raked with FOTF Josh Bell, he's been replaced.

If you use objectively worse cards because of your own personal results, especially with a small sample size, you're doing yourself a disservice.

All well and good, but it doesn't matter for God Tier Pujols. You just use him. And if he doesn't smash, he takes advantage of the shift...

If you're not giving cards 100 ab's, you aren't doing it right.

Very nice thought process and setup. I think I'll adopt this idea and give it a shot to help me better see how I'm doing with what cards. Thank you!

I've used frank thomas for 4 years now. I don't need 100 AB to know his swing is garbage
