@deleteyourttvbtw_mlbts said in What is the minimum contact and power you consider usable?:
Only fun merchants with theme teams they don’t use would have someone below 80-90 power in their line up and pretend it doesn’t make a difference.
Power trumps Contact every year. Ones is a skill stat the other is a boost stat, If your good enough 60 contact is enough, but if it’s not Joey Gallo with 90 power it ain’t going anywhere.
When’s the last time you faced Tony Gwynn Kenny Lofton or Ozzie Smith? The same amount of times you’ll face the new 110+ contact 65+ power Jose Iglesias. Never, nobody wants to hit fly balls all day.
Eh, I’d typically agree 100% when discussing any previous rendition of the game, but not ‘22. This years game is definitely weighted toward contact. Maybe it’s just me, but everyone I play with on co op agrees as well.
