Power Pros Forum

That reminds me, if you want someone to be on the DL, if it's an outfielder run them into the wall, catcher the same. Everyone else get HBP in the torso/head. Pitchers, well make them pitch consecutively, or an entire game, they're bound to get injured.
That aside, I think the best ability for a power hitter is "Slugger". Power Hitter is important as well (obviously). Why? Well, look at Miguel Cabrera. He has higher power than A-Rod, and better contact. But he doesn't have the Slugger ability and/or the Power Hitter ability.
Of course, clutch hit is good as well.

He said pure power hitter, not situational power hitter



Exactly. You could even make a case for Great Infield Hitter because it would help the player's average, and by extension RBI. But then it would just be easier to say get every blue ability because they can only be good.

Abilities tend to over-compensate in sim mode.

For example BL Hitter boosts hitting power in bases loaded situations. Not very helpful if you already have 255 power. But in sim mode, it makes the player hit more homers in BL situations by fiddling with percentages.

Like I said earlier, it comes down to whether the discussion is about great sim player or great player to use.

Or both. Less is never More.
