Inside the Park Home Runs

This is playing fictional with modern stats, starting 1901 (I tested in 1905). Historical year set to 2020.

It is not working for me. I set the historical year to 2020 and I still see 1-2 inside the park home runs each game.

I just tested again. Fictional league 1902 (historical year 2020)

I looked at one team only in the league, counting all home runs in the games played for month of July.

37 home runs, 7 of these of these were inside the park.

It is certainly not perfect but I did not see one every game. Something seems off still though it would be good if the devs could comment.

Looks like it's actually based on the actual league year, not necessarily the "historical year" set. So that might explain it (also if your parks are excessively large, that will shift to more ITP HR)

Thanks Matt.

Is there any way this could be changed to be based off 'historical year' in the next version?

Yeah, we can certainly look into that for next year.

Thank you, much appreciated.

I am playing in 1924 (fictional) with 2019 stats and still seeing way too many inside the park home runs. It's really immersion-breaking to see so many.
