The North American Arena Baseball Association

[jDaveMc1984]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you The North American Arena Baseball Association or NAABA. An association of three Arena leagues in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

First Things First. What is an Arena League

This idea started when I wanted to see more offense in most of my fictional leagues (and even MLB leagues). I wanted to see what would happen if we invented an indoor type of baseball similar to the AFL (Arena Football League), with increased offense, homeruns, doubles and strikeouts. I tried a few things, and most of the time it just involved adjusting the stats modifiers, but I wanted it to be more authentic.

Since OOTP doesn't have park dimensions really affect statistics, I decided to create my fictional ALB (Arena League Baseball) with only a few teams, and I would adjust the park factors like so:

1.) Averages vs Left and Right would be increased by 0.500
2.) Doubles would be increased by 1
3.) Homeruns vs left and right would be increased by 0.500
4.) And finally I would adjust the league modifier for strikeouts to be increased by 0.500

All parks would have the same dimensions (to keep up appearances)
1.) They're all domes (eventually this would be lenient in the Mexican League, which allows for retractable roofs)
2.) All ballparks have an average of 15,000 to ~35,000 capacity
3.) Park dimensions are 150ft/150ft/175ft/200ft/175ft/150ft/150ft

So, after 120+ years of the Arena Baseball, our previous season of 2129 for the ALB looks as such in the attachment, as well as the league career and single season records

Tell me what you think of my Arena League!
