Glad to help!

As a bit of an addendum, contact is by far the most important stat for a hitter, especially at the perfect level. I gave 65 as a baseline, but that's the very low end of what is acceptable. 80+ contact is where players start performing decently, and at the tippity top 90+ is what you need for reliably good performance.

Pitchers can get away with say 60-70's control and movement if they have high velocity, stuff, and lots of good pitches. But high movement and control is generally what separates the pitchers that are great from the pitchers that squeak by. Fewer home runs and walks is never a bad thing.
