What’s new?
ATTEMPT chart
The F rated Pitcher Hold section of the ATTEMPT chart has an increase in the Pickoff Pitcher result and a decrease in Good jumps. The end result is that potential pickoffs by F Hold pitchers have been doubled and it is also a bit more difficult to get a Good Jump off a a Pitcher with an F Hold rating.
Great examples of the type of pitcher this will help are F rated Hold pitchers like Jason Isringhausen (Pickoff rating of 9), Matt Thornton (Pickoff 5), Jesse Crain (Pickoff 7), Tony Sipp (Pickoff 7), Matt Lindstrom (Pickoff 5), Ross Ohlendorf (Pickoff 6), Tommy Hanson (Pickoff 3), Dan Runzler (Pickoff 10), Jordan Walden (Pickoff 4), Tony Watson (Pickoff 6) and Eric Surkamp (Pickoff 8). These pitchers fall into the category of easy to get a Good Jump off, but also very adept of picking runners off. It’s an interesting combination of a Hold and Pickoff rating that is more common that you might expect.
Umpire Crews
Umpire crews have all been newly updated along with new strike zone ratings. Crews now include their last name as well as first initial. Also new is the red HOT symbol ~ for certain umpires that come into play on the updated BIZARRE play charts. If you guessed Joe West as the leader in ejections has a HOT symbol you are right!

Umpire result # 16-24 has been changed to decrease the number of singles and increase the number of strikeouts for Umpires with a Normal strike zone.

If former inept MLB umpire Richie Garcia was still in the Majors you could have used an @ symbol, meaning ‘asshole’ for him!! Arguably the worst umpire in history of MLB.
