I was wondering why, when selecting the batting order, stats like BA w/ RISP v R/L are not available to see? To me, this would just be a nice stat to have when evaluating players. I'm not sure how much it would affect a line-up, but if you have a player who always hits about .260, but hits .360 w/ RISP, you may be more willing to keep him at #3 instead of sliding him down to #6 in the line-up.
Also, what about a stat for the last 50 ABs/3 weeks/ 20 games/etc. I think this would help a lot for players to know if a player is on a cold streak or hot streak.
I don't believe this stat would change too much to how owners deploy their line-ups, it could just help. If a player is 7 for his last 50 ABs, but it's August, it's hard to tell he's struggling. You may notice a small dip in his stats, but not enough to act on it if he already has 400+ at-bats. Plus, this could help if you have someone who's 31 for his last 50, you could move him up in the line-up.
If anything, could we add RISP to the player card?
I would like to know other's opinions on this. I have posted this to idea scale as well.

I apologize if this is somewhere else, but I looked back to September and didn't find this mentioned anywhere.I was wondering why, when selecting the batting order, stats like BA w/ RISP v R/L are not available to see?

there is no such thing as a streak of any kind in SD ans RISP is likewise irrelevant here. i am against any stats that suggest otherwise, particularly ones that may impact how a new owner sets the lineup.

The ratings of the player are used at the onset of each plate appearance to calculate the probable outcomes of that single plate appearance. Past performace, current situation, RISP, X for past 50, anything else besides the player ratings is completely unnecessary and irrelevant. It has the potential to become misleading to new owners and I would be against the idea for that reason.

the most misleading thing to newcomers is that the SD letter grades do not correspond to school letter grades. With some research newcomers learn that a B- is only a 55 and a C is a 40, and a D is a 15. It takes a while to really train yourself that a B- is not an 80, and a C is not a 75, and a D is not a 65.

I think that anyone who takes the time to glance at the game guide or frequently asked questions page or has played a video game with a similar grading system would be able to make the transition fairly easily. Also, that isn't really what this suggestion is about ...

I too would like to see this if only for curiosities sake. But I can see Hamiltons point that it could be misleading to new owners. I have only been an owner for a couple months and I am sure that I would have thought that a "hot and cold" streak meant something.
It is probably along the same lines but would it be possible to have something show a players hit streaks? Maybe once a player gets to 15 games or so?
