Accidentally gave him Firstball hitter and hot hitter. Also S/L for a while and couldn't seem to get Agr Stealer. 2 red spots hitting, but he is better in the middle and lower in the zone so it's not that bad.

TRJ 3 or 4? He hits a lot of fly balls.

Consistency 2 or 3?

Not too sure on arm/fld/err, any other thoughts? Remake because of super low power on last one made.

My thoughts:

Hamilton is a .242 career hitter, so that's contact 6 max. He hits lefties a little better (.251), so you could consider vs lefty 4, but I wouldn't, it's not a big enough split.

Power is in the 75-78 range. ISO of .088, he goes over 100 ABs between homers, 0.9% HR % career.

Just be aware that if you give him speed 15 AND those abilities, he will pretty much never get caught stealing. In reality, he gets caught 20% of the time - more like 30% last season. Not sure how to do it exactly, but speed 15, stealing 4 and agg steal will be like 100 steals, no CS. That's great but it's not Billy Hamilton, right? He has refined his stealing a lot this year, to get caught only 7 times instead of the 23 he was nailed last year.

FLD 12-13 is good, he is above average
E RES 12-13 is all good, .997 career when average is .986 for OFs
ARM is average, a 50-57 grade on the scouting scale, which I'd put at 7-8.

Spray hitter looks good to me
I like consistency 2 to help express his streakiness and issues

Well I did ok for not looking at stats I guess

He will still definitely get caught stealing. Agr stealing makes you more likely to get thrown out because you might go even against a lefty with a quick move and molina behind the plate when you are purple.

He's also 52-7 this year. If you have seen him, it's because he's got better moves on it. Last year he couldn't lead off or take off properly at all, he was just fast. This year he's got that down and has just 4 less steals than last year despite over 200 less PA so far.

iso also isn't a 100% indicator of power. 550slg with 200ba and 800slg with 550ba will still get you .250iso. Compared by percentage difference, his power would be higher.

The thing I really need help on is arm strength, I can't seem to find any videos of him throwing and I've only seen him throw a couple of times, he seemed about a 10 but I don't remember too well.

Edit: Yeah I am going to go for consistency 2 because of his streakiness. This will also mean almost half the time it will be quite harder for him to steal (blue or purple). And half the time very easy (makes sense given his amount of 2/3/4/5 steal games).

Edit: I'll go with the arm 8 as well.

Alright, here is pretty much what I am going for.

TRJ 3
CON 6 (might change to 7, he has a very low babip this year)
POW 88
RUN 15
ARM 8
FLD 13
ERR 14 (2 errors total, .997 average, top 5 fielding % charts)

Grt Infield Hitter
Spray Hitter
Stealing 4
Baserunning 4
Gd Bunt
Agr Run
Agr Steal
Agr Field
Consistency 2

Edit: Can't believe I forgot this. HD 1st Slide as well.

Edit: Gd small ball.

Edit: In automatic season mode, with explosive stealing, leading off, practicing connection (ending season with 9 con), he hit .287/1/66, with 62 steals. I might give him consistency 3 so he gets more steals.

Should he have throwing 4? I can't seem to find videos of him throwing. I haven't seen many of his throws otherwise to make a decision.

You know that it's Contact, not Connection?
