Team Status Page

Pitchers:

Role: This is the role described by the player's usage in real life MLB. MANAGER OPTIONS (located in FRONT OFFICE form team page and is set by the manager) determines the pitcher's actual role in PB games.

Max: This number refers to the pitcher's MaxBats or maximum batters allowed if fully rested. A pitcher becomes susceptible to tiredness once he goes past his MaxBats in a PB game. A starting pitcher requires 30 MaxBats in order to start a game READY.

Rec: This is the recovery rate or the number of MaxBats added each game a pitcher does not appear. Example: A pitcher has 12 MaxBats with a recovery rate of 9 after a particular PB game. This means he will be at 30 MaxBats after two days of rest (12+ (2x9=18)=30)

BFA: This number refers to the batters faced available for the next PB game. The BFA will always equal the MaxBats if a pitcher is fully rested. When a pitcher goes past his BFA allowance he will go into negative BFA but will not become ineffective until he allows a base runner. A pitcher with negative BFA will be degraded immediately upon entering a game with negative BFA but will be treated as rested with "0" BFA.

Rest: Refers to the number of games the pitcher (or player) has rested since his last appearance.

GP: Games played in current PB season.

Status: Status refers to pitcher's tiredness as calculated by MaxBats and Recovery. Starting Pitchers having BFA of less than 30 or relievers with BFA <0 are TIRED. Use of a tired pitcher in PB results in reduced effectiveness and possible DAY TO DAY injury (See section on Injuries).

In addition to READY, TIRED, and VERY TIRED, a pitcher or player can also be marked RUSTY. A rusty player has not been in a game for some time and his performance will be unreliable in his first game back.

Use: Also referred to "IPuse". This number represents the range at which the pitcher is using up his allotment of innings pitched for the season. A "Use" of 100 refers to the exact rate at which the pitcher pitched in the corresponding real life season. PB pitchers are allowed a Use of 115 for the season (115% of actual innings pitched). The first 20% of a PB season (50% or 25 games in Launch Leagues) is a grace period in which a pitcher, which is over his range of innings pitched, will not be marked OVERUSED. The pitcher will however be marked WORN-OUT if he surpasses his seasonal limit of innings pitched during the first 20% of the season. After the first 20% of the season, the pitcher's allowed rate of innings pitched (Use) will be set at 150 and gradually decrease until it reaches 115 on the last day of the season. That is to say, a pitcher is allowed 150% of his range of innings pitched for the first game after 20% of the PB season has been played. He will only be marked OVERUSED if his rate is above 150 at that point in the season. This "Use" limit will be reduced gradually as the season unfolds.

UStatus: This status can be READY, OVERUSED or VERY OVERUSED and refers to the pitcher's status according to his range of innings pitched for the PB season (See "Use" above). A status of INN refers to an "innocuous" pitcher. These pitchers are not subject to innings pitched limitations.

Injury: Games injured is expressed in this column of the Status Page.

Batters:

Pos: The batter's primary position (The position at which he played the most innings during the corresponding MLB season).

Role: This is the role described by the player's usage in real life MLB.

PAUse: This number represents the range at which the batter is using up his allotment of Plate Appearances for the season. A "Use" of 100 refers to the exact rate at which the player batted in the corresponding real life season. PB batters are allowed a Use of 115 for the season (115% of actual innings pitched). The first 20% of a PB season (50% or 25 games in Launch Leagues) is a grace period in which a batter, which is over his range of plate appearances, will not be marked OVERUSED. The batter will however be marked WORN-OUT if he surpasses his seasonal limit of plate appearances during the first 20% of the season. After the first 20% of the season, the batter's allowed rate of plate appearances used (PAUse) will be set at 150 and gradually decrease until it reaches 110 on the last day of the season. That is to say, a batter is allowed 150% of his rate of plate appearances used for the first game after 20% of the PB season has been played. He will only be marked OVERUSED if his rate is above 150 at that point in the season. This "PAUse" limit will be reduced gradually as the season unfolds.

PAStatus: This status can be READY, OVERUSED or VERY OVERUSED and refers to the batter's status according to his range of plate appearances used for the PB season (See "PAUse" above). A status of INN refers to an "innocuous" player. These players are not subject to limitations on plate appearances.

SBUse: This number represents the range at which the batter is using up his allotment of Stolen Base Attempts for the season. A "Use" of 100 refers to the exact rate at which the player attempted to steal bases in the corresponding real life season. PB base stealers are allowed a Use of 125 for the season (125% of actual innings pitched). The first 20% of a PB season (50% or 25 games in Launch Leagues) is a grace period in which a base stealer, which is over his range of stolen base attempts, will not be marked OVERUSED. The base stealer will however be marked WORN-OUT if he surpasses his seasonal limit of stolen base attempts during the first 20% of the season. After the first 20% of the season, the base stealer's allowed rate of stolen base attempts used (SBUse) will be set at 150 and gradually decrease until it reaches 125 on the last day of the season. That is to say, a base stealer is allowed 150% of his rate of stolen base attempts used for the first game after 20% of the PB season has been played. He will only be marked OVERUSED if his rate is above 150 at that point in the season. This "SBUse" limit will be reduced gradually as the season unfolds. Base stealers marked OVERUSED will not be used to steal on the road by the ROBOT and will suffer severely reduced stolen base success ratings at home.

SBStatus: This status can be READY, OVERUSED or VERY OVERUSED and refers to the base stealer's status according to his range of stolen base attempts used for the PB season (See "SBUse" above).
