I think the biggest thing is surely lack of power. HRs are the only thing that give you guaranteed runs. Without that, your team might just have bad luck of closing the deal and have too many LOBs. I would consider adjusting the lineup, maybe have two sets of high OBP for 1st two slots and then two sets of high .AVG with scorer on base(I think that's a trackable stat in the game? Not too sure; if not, then high RBI). So the batting order goes OBP-OBP-RBI-RBI-OBP-OBP-RBI-RBI-9th. Or maybe three sets, OBP-OBP-RBI-OBP-OBP-RBI-OBP-OBP-RBI.
I don't think 10th is that bad if you are measuring all 30 teams. The 9 above you could be hard hitting teams.
