Ryan Goins hit 2 hr against my team and I thought that was a bit surprising. Here is his card. http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/917 ... 015/429445
Against RHP he has 2.75 base hr against right-handed pitching. That's about 1 hr/39 pa. His actual stats were 4 hr in 331 pa or 1 hr/83 pa. The average pitcher gave up 1 hr/33 pa in 2015. Why would such a low hr hitter get that many hrs on his card?
I guess Strat adjusted for that by doing something pretty odd. Goins had 1 hr in 97 pa against LHP. Strat gave him .25 hr against lefties. However, Goins got a weak power rating against righties so pitchers cannot give up a home run to him and a normal power rating against lefties, so they can give up home runs to him. Maybe it all works out statistically, but it seems like a somewhat contrived, artificial way to do it.
