98 durability, 20 stamina, 80+ control, 90+ splits, 80+ velocity, 80+ P1, 80+ P2, 50+ P3.

Will every time someone gets a bat on the ball it be a home run?

No, not at all.

But he will tend to have a much higher percentage of HR's allowed than somebody with a higher rating.

I never really paid attention to GB until I had a couple of 0 guys. They just give up too many homers to be effective in any park that doesn't have a negative HR value.

Except for the homers. This guy isn't as good but he should have been an acceptable RP:

I couldn't use him in Charleston.

This is the correct answer. Even in a HR park.

If you don't mind that 2 run dinger to cost you the game once every 5-6 games.

I believe you're way off if you think a pitcher with 80+ control, 90+ splits, 2 pitches of 80+ and a third above average pitch is going to give up 20 HR in 120 relief IP.

In any World I am in, he's a top 10 RP at worst, regardless of GB/FB.

To say nothing of the chances that any 2-run dingers he gives up *actually* cost you the game.

Seen too many low-groundball pitchers give up over 2.00 hr/9ip. Still see no reason to pay attention to velocity, but I definitely notice GB ratings.
