Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

What do you think will be the parameters will be for this year? 9 starts got you a card in pervious seasons. 100 PA would get you in. Would 3 starts and 25 PA get you a card in this set?

I would love for this set with 3 starts and 25 PA get a card. 2020 has been crazy why not add that to the 2020 set. Let strat rock and just put them all in and price accordingly. Let any RP with 10 innings get a card. Make the entire season be UNLEASHED.

I do not see how they can justify an unleashed set with such a short season. I'm sure there will be some kind of cut off for the computer only players, which we never see in the online game, but I can't even begin to guess where that line is drawn, especially given the expanded Covid rosters.

If they’re consistent, they’ll just reduce all their thresholds (if they actually have any) down to 37% of a normal season (ie, 60/162).

One threshold that has held true forever is 29.2 IP for a SP rating. The last 3 card sets have averaged 231 SP's in total.
The current MLB season has 137 SP's that have 29.2 IP's. Even if that number rises to 150 or so this last week of the season that's still way short of 231. SOM won't let that happen most likely

37% of 29.2 is 10.8 (10.2 in our language). Currently in the real MLB season there are 197 SP's that have pitched 10.2 innings and have 3 or more starts. 212 if you include those with 2 or more starts. That number will increase the last week of the season to.....231?

You may be on to something keyzick.
