Nice.
I was thinking of doing achievements as well. So, here are mine:
Hit for 2 cycles, 2 Grand Slams, 3 Gold Gloves (got shafted one year), 3 Batting titles and 2 Silver Sluggers.I might be off on this slightly. I'm not playing yet today. It's been tough for me to hit for enough power and have enough RBIs for MVP. Hard to increase power with Small Ball on top of me batting leadoff more times than not. I'll get there though.
I wonder how many people have read this and just felt sorry for me that I only play on Veteran, lol. Idk how much difference it makes, but I usually only play while indulging in some adult beverages. XD
EDIT: I'm also working on a Plain Filthy pitcher with a first pitch Knuckleball. It's been pretty fun. I only play Rookie on that. It's my "I'm too tipsy to hit" player.

I'm working on my hitting now. I'm doing anomaly, power and speed. Still in first year on Legend.
It helps to have the Maverick "cheat" where you call timeout twice and they throw an inside pitch. Also using guess pitch and directional.
Also have a lot of diamond equipment. I played a bunch of Moments to stock up on stubs. Then scored deGrom in one of the Headliners packs.
-
Oh, right. That's the other thing I didn't mention. I don't use guess pitch. I thought they removed it from the game when it started off by default and I just got used to not using it.
I'm up to 4 diamond equipment and the rest is gold. Ritual, Bat, Glove and Cleats are Diamond.

Thanks for posting this, n00b3rl1n.
My guy is "Small Ball", and he just finished his 2022 Season (2 years AA/AAA, one year MLB). He won Rookie of the year, even though he was injured for 60 games with a broken right arm. These "Small Ball" guys are pretty fragile...

As you can probably tell, I always work on hitting first (your fielding attributes are way higher than mine). Regarding MVP - in the 2019 game, I did earn MVP with a Small Ball guy in my 6th full season once I had enough power. -

Hmmm, my guy has yet to get injured, but increasing durability is rough. I'm a couple years ahead of my friend and his durability is better than mine. I work on my fielding a lot for a couple of reasons. First, I make Pokey Reese every year (favorite player) and that's the type of player he was (also how I played the game). Second, I feel like hitting will be there if you play well enough, whereas there is more of a random aspect to fielding/throwing (with just button throwing at least).
Edit: My guy also got really lucky about being moved up. I refused a move to 3rd base to "try it out," because I usually end up getting stuck there. About a month later I got shipped to the Red Sox with only Pedroia in front of me. Ended up being a starter very quickly.

LOL! My character's name is "Pee Wee Reese".
