Do you mind if I ask the extent of your testing?
Not doubting you at all, you do wayyyy more testing than I ever have. I'm just curious if they programmed in a specific exception for Ohtani's arm injury this year (given that he is literally the outlier of all outliers in baseball history) or if this was a full-blown adjustment made across the board.
Just using a throwing / arm injury for example, I think the belief has always been that his throwing ratings / attributes will be the only ratings to be negatively affected by the injury, BUT further injury remained a possibility any time he was in the lineup what so over, DH included. Your point about Ohtani's arm injury yet DHing all season is obviously valid -- I'm just curious if the testing you've done on random player A and random player B, with similar throwing / arm injuries, was a large enough of a sample size where we could call the results credible.
