Small sample, but I have been seeing, consistently, several HBP per game in the latest build. That was not the case in prior builds of 26 for me. And it's troubling that there seems to be no correlation between a pitcher's propensity to hit batters (or the batter's history of getting HBP) and the occurrence of HBP in the games.

I am leery of adjusting totals and modifiers, for fear of the "doctrine of unintended consequences". But HBP is pretty discrete. But do I dial down the HBP total or reduce the modifier, or both (each)?
