Other Ratings

In addition to hitting, pitching, and fieldings ratings - there are a few other factors to consider when scouting players and building your team(s).

Endurance (EN)

EN is the 9th and final rating on the player card. A player's endurance rating influences how long he can go before fatigue begins to impact his performance. During each game, as players play, they slowly lose endurance. Pitchers lose endurance much faster than batters. As a player’s endurance gets low, fatigue often begins to set in. Each player’s fatigue level is indicated by the Fatigue rating. Generally, the more endurance, the longer a position player can play without a day off, or the more innings a pitcher can throw before feeling the effects of fatigue. Endurance is recovered whenever a player has a day off, either due to being taken out of the lineup or his team having a day off. Typically, their endurance level will be fully recovered in four to five days.

The maximum a rating can drop due to fatigue is 60% for position players, and 30% for pitchers. The only ratings which are not impacted by fatigue are a pitcher's Specialty (SY) rating and Endurance itself. It is important to note that catchers fatigue faster than players at other positions, and designated hitters fatigue slower than position players.

SeaFat (Season Fatigue)

Note – as of June 2022 update, Season Fatigue is a hidden rating that will not be displayed

Righty/Lefty (RL)

The Righty/Lefty rating reflects the skill of a batter or pitcher against right-handed and left-handed batters and pitchers. The RL rating reflects the number of points to be added to, or subtracted from, a batter's DI, CN, BA, and SL ratings when facing a right-handed or left-handed pitcher. Both the batter's and pitcher's RL ratings are used,used. and they are both used in the same way. When facing a right-handed opponent, you ''add'' the RL rating; when facing a left-handed opponent, you ''subtract'' the RL rating. (Remember, subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.) inIn general, it is easier to hit against opposite-handed pitchers. As a result, right-handed batters and pitchers typically have a negative RL rating (worse against righties, better against lefties), and left-handed batters and pitchers typically have positive RL ratings (better against righties, worse against lefties). Note, switch-hitters are always considered as hitting from the opposite side of the plate from which the pitcher throws. (CSFBL does not have "switch-pitchers")

ThinkNote – as of "RL"June as2022 "effectivenessupdate, againstR/L is a righty"hidden –rating justthat reversewill not be displayed. You will know if a batter or pitcher is a righty or a lefty, but you will not see the signexact whenlevel the opponent is left-handed. Take four players:

@@infobox:Right-Handed Batter (RHB): RL -3
Left-Handed Batter (LHB): RL +3
Right-Handed Pitcher (RHP): RL -3
Left-Handed Pitcher (LHP): RL +3

RHP vs RHB: -3 and -3 becomes -3 and -3 (no change), so -3 + -3 = -6 (penalty)
LHP vs LHB: +3 and +3 becomes -3 and -3 (reverse vs lefty), so -3 + -3 = -6 (penalty)
RHP vs LHB: -3 and +3 becomes +3 and +3 (reverse RL for pitcher who is facing a lefty), so +3 + +3 = +6 (bonus)
LHP vs RHB: +3 and -3 becomes +3 and +3 (reverse RL for batter who is facing a lefty), so +3 + +3 = +6 (bonus)@@

That is how you do the RL calculation, but the reality is that it's not quite so simple. The rate at which the RL rating is applied varies depending on the batter/pitcher match-up. Just like in real life, right-handed batters facing right-handed pitchers are not as disadvantaged as left-handed batters facing left-handed pitchers.

• Left-handed batters facing left-handed pitchers have the overall impact of RL ''increased''.
