Injuries

1.  If a batter is injured, review the play by play.  Make a note of the play and the handedness of the pitcher.  Let’s say the batter was injured by a HBP and he was facing a left-handed pitcher.  Review each year of your batter card to check to see what years have a HBP + injury against left-handed pitchers.

2.  In a DH league, pitchers can only get injured while they are facing an opposing DH.  The injury would occur if the roll is 6-12.  Look at your pitcher’s card for the hand of the batter he faces and see if the 6-12 result matches the play by play results.  This may help eliminate cards and narrow down what season you may have.

3.  Take note of a player’s number of injured games.  If card has more than 600 plate appearances a player can’t get injured more than three games.

Lefty/Righty splits

1. Everything is about ratios.  Compare a batter’s splits on baseball-reference.

2. Study K/BB ratios for hitters and pitchers.
