My team has led the league in GIDP for S41, S42, and leading so far in S43.

What's wrong?

I am generally one of the lowest teams in groundball rates.

Base stealing is set to "Never", although some of the lowest base stealing teams do not have this GIDP problem.

I have a very slow team in Riley world. I draft position players for defense and hitting, so speed and baserunning are just whatever I end up with. Last season, with stealing set to Rare, and stealing the least bases in the world, we still got caught stealing almost 50% of the time.

And your team is slower than mine, you've got only one player with over 60 Speed. Plus, I can't see your world's team stats but from the look of your player stats the majority of your players hit more ground balls than fly balls GB/FB. My team is more like 50/50, but we still get a lot of DPs.

Like I said, I am generally one of the lowest teams in groundball rates.

The speed theory is sound, base-running and speed ratings are an afterthought/I don't look at them.

You also have to consider contributing factors. If your team has a high OBP, they will have more double play opportunities.

I looked at it on a "rate" basis as well. doesn't look good. I had the second lowest OBP last season, still led the league in GIDP.

OK, it seems like you want someone to say "You're getting screwed". You are not. Your team is slow.

Comparison:
Of your H/BB, you had a runner on first 1336 times(H+BB-2B-3B-HR). You hit into 201 DP.
My MG team, 1496 on first, 76 DP. My team is built on speed, baserunning and defense.

If you want to hit into less DP, don't ignore SPD/BR.

Yeah, this is open and shut.

"base-running and speed ratings are an afterthought/I don't look at them"

You don't say?

Go to World>Reports>Franchise Rankings and then sort the table by "Starting Lineup". Your team is ~10% slower than the 2nd slowest team in the league and you're bottom 5 in base-running.

Me: "The speed theory is sound"

After you have your answer, you still come back with this. What was the point?

What are our thoughts on "Base Running Aggressiveness"?

The text reads it is about stretching bases, but a working theory is that conservative base running could have played a factor?

I just changed this from "Infrequent" to "Average", curious to see any results.

In all likelihood, you'll hit into less DP because you're getting thrown out trying to take two on a single. Your team is still slow with poor baserunning skills.

Increasing the hit and run frequency setting to average might make a small difference too, if it is on the low side.
