A for both Collin and Adam

I'm confused. Who are the catchers with right now and who are they with later?

Sorry, typo. Harry and Mack will be in the next update with the fielders. The update after that they'll be with the pitchers. We've already got one catcher working with 'em.

PITCHERS:
Collin Update
Gotta impress coach... thought Collin. He wound up, gritting his teeth, and felt his whole body send the ball hurtling into the bullpen catcher's mitt. A perfect strike.
"Nice! 83 MPH, better than most guys in this league. Way to go!"

Coach's Eval: 4/10

Ryan Update
Closing his eyes and trying to forget the pressure, Ryan focused on throwing strikes by sticking to fastballs. With the count at 2-2, Ryan threw a knuckleball down and in. The batting coach stepped into the pitch early, but was somehow able to flick his wrists and hit a blooper into shallow left field. In a game situation, this would be an easy single. "So close, buddy, just remember to bare down with 2 strikes!"
Choke Artist ↑ 2/10
Ctrl ↑ 1/40
Coach's Eval 2/10

Anthony Update
CLANG! The targetboard rattled a bit as the circle change barely missed the bulls-eye. "Crud!" Exclaimed Anthony in disgust. After missing the first 3 in a row, he was able to salvage his self-confidence to go 5 for ten. "50% ain't bad, but you can do better," said Lane.
CCHG ↑ 2/35
CTR ↑ 1/40
Coach's Eval 1/10

Adam Update
The virtual pitcher wound up and hurled some high cheese up and in. The batter was thrown off guard and hit a grounder up the middle. The second baseman just barely made a diving snag to finish off the game. "Close call, but you still got 'em," Lane said.
Gd Catcher ↑ 1/10
Fld: 2/40
Coach's Eval 3/10

Decent, hoping my guy finishes alright.

Wait, why is my Coach's Eval lowest of anyone's?

Because you didn't choose the best option, so therefore didn't get as much eval as others who chose better options.

As he was leaving the bullpen, Lane headed to the batting cage, where the outfielders were working on their swings. Looking good, he thought. Better give 'em some individual challenges, though.

He walked up to the first cage. Hunter Veil was inside, taking some cut with his red bat.
"Looks like you've got some nice power."
"Thanks, coach."
"You ready for a challenge?"
"Uh... sure."
"I'm gonna choose a random pitch setting on the machine. Look out though, as each pitch has a level, 1-7 and also a speed setting. Let's see how good you are at judging the pitch."
Hunter Veil dug into the batters box, shaking, as he was a little nervous.

Decision time for Zumikaku
a) Get ready for some heat!
b) Stay back for a nasty curve.
c) Take the pitch.
d) Look out for the changeup.

In the next cage was Jamey Jennings.
"So, my scouting report says you're Anthony's pal?"
"Yeah, ever since 3rd grade."
"Well, lets hope you do better than he did today. This drill is to test your spray hitting."
He sent him to the field and set up some fielders.
"All you've gotta do is get a hit, but this pitch is gonna be super fast and inside, so you'll be forced to hit one into the shallow outfield."

Decision time for AnthonyP!
a) Pull to the left
b) Slap to the right
c) Bunt
d) Screw that, swing for the fences!

Jack Allen was next on his list.
"Hey, bud, have you ever played MLB Power Pros?"
"Yeah, what guy in his right mind hasn't?"
"Good, this drill is just the same as the scout hitting challenge!"
"Ok, Coach!"

Decision time for Powerprosfan!
a) Warning track power = big points!
b) Bunt
c) Bat against Marvin
d) Spray some into the outfield.

Finally, he called Bryan Murphy out to the weight room.
"Hey, bud let me watch you do a few sets."
"Alright, coach."
Decision time for Maccrash!a) Go all out on the bench press
b) take it easy with some curls
c) lift a moderately heavy barbell
d) punch the punching bag.

Can someone give me a choice? I'm Rusty Rhodes.

No, your guy is the Indian 2nd baseman, Sufjan Kumar...

He has 2.

Street then worked his way into the gym. There was some freaky looking kid with a giant beard flying around the gym with a dog. No, it was a wolf!
"Jeez, what do you think you're doing!" Street yelled.
"Sorry coach. Me like wolf." He replied in poor English.
"I see you like to run. You must be Rusty Rhodes." Street said. The kid just looked back with a smile.
Let's see how you do. How fast can you run around the gym?
Decision time for redsfan
A)Charge at coach with the wolf
B)Race the wolf around the gym
C)Run as fast as you can
D)Jog it

That sound okay? I think writing your update should be like jury duty. We all have to do it once, and take turns.
