DH and fatigue

Astros2000 · 04-19-2022, 01:08 PM

Does anybody know how DH’ing affects player fatigue level?

I’ve see posts that show DH will maintain same fatigue level, but not get more tired or rested.

Does anybody have a study on this?

Thanks guys!

I've had frustrations that DH fatigue in OOTP22 seems out of touch with how it works in real life. I have Gabriel Moreno in my sim (and a good defensive backup) so was trying to use him at DH more to keep his bat in the lineup - similar to Sal Perez maybe - and it just doesn't work in OOTP.

I had one specific stretch that stuck out where a 6-day period for him was: Off Day (when he rested fully / wasn't overworked previously) / C / C / DH / DH / DH and by Day 7 he was down to 41% rested.

Yeah, DH fatigue/rest is an interesting concept.

There should probably be a threshold somewhere where it shifts from fatigue to rest.

For example, if a player is at 100% rested, being the DH should count "against" rest. However, if the player is below, say, 50% rested, being the DH should count as a "rest" day, but with maybe half or a quarter of the affect completely sitting out would do.

I've not ever really paid attention, but how does the game handle pinch-hitting in these circumstances also?
