Variable fatigue rating for individual hitters

Maybe someone has suggested this - the list of suggestions is pretty long - but I'd love to see different hitters fatigue at noticeably different rates. Maybe this happens subtly already? Not sure. But I'd like to see some hitters get tired really slowly - think Cal Ripken or Lou Gehrig as extremes - so they can play every game or nearly every game. Other guys might fatigue faster, especially with age. Most guys would just be average/regular speed, but some variation would be nice.

The game already does this with pitcher fatigue rates, seems like it should be doable for hitters, too.

Absolutely agree! Even in today’s MLB some players appear in every game during the season. In OOTP this would exhaust the player to the point of dramatically (and unrealistically) reducing their production.
