Vision / Discipline / Clutch

Do these rating actually matter as to how well your hitter is going to perform?

[Therebelyell626]

In played games no. However the clutch rating will give you better hits when runners are on base. If you are a heavy simmer though these ratings are super important. This year I have been training hitting coach exclusively and my minor leaguers with low contact and power are absolutely raking.

I play a lot of manage only mode so I assumed they'd be important for that mode if I'm not controlling the hitter myself.

Doesnt better vision make for a better timing window?

I believe vision effects how large your PCI is. More vision means larger PCI means easier to make contact. Discipline's only gameplay effect that I know of is to modify chance of success when you attempt to check your swing. And higher clutch basically helps you with runners on base, but I'm not sure what the practical in-game effects are. When simming, I'm sure vision and discipline take on more significance, but I'm not sure exactly how.

I would think discipline would mean the ability to judge balls and strikes and take walks.

You aren't correct caufield. The higher the vision the larger the PCI

Yes these are Benificial in manage only mode as that is considered a simulation
