Welcome to the game.
Here are the
Game Rules which you can find by going to the Info/Help tab. There you will find how the game is played including how to read a
Hitters Card and
Pitchers Card.
9L refers to the balance of the players:
Balance -- Denotes whether hitters perform better against righthanded or lefthanders pitchers, and by how much. A 9R is supremely better against righthanded pitchers, while a 1R is mildly better against righties. A 9L would perform much better against lefty pitchers. An "E" means even. S6 refers to the endurance rating of the player:
"S6" or "starter(6)" means the pitcher can start games, and in general he can go 6 innings before being susceptible to tiredness. When a pitcher tires his performance can suffer.
