That is certainly an interesting statement. I hope seble will clarify, Because that is not consistent with the Paul Bessire presentation that is referenced several times in this thread. If true, that throws open a whole set of questions around the decision tree and the SIM algorithm that run counter to 10+ years worth of discussion on these forums.
Mike, if you are in touch with him, and if he is willing, I would certainly appreciate his comment on the issue as it pertains to the topic of this thread.
I asked seble to follow up because of the apparent discrepancy and linked him to the decision tree presentation and this thread.
after some short back and forths to clarify some things, this was the reply:
Ballpark factors impact singles, doubles, triples, and homers. I can't speak to the accuracy of that presentation because I wasn't even aware of that previously
I think this keeps both interpretations in play, especially with the wording here: "Ballpark factors impact singles, doubles, triples, and homers." Assuming the decision tree still works the way it did when these slides were made, I still am on the side of 1B ballpark modifier modifies hits and then trickles down to "impact" singles. If there were changes to the decision tree, this may not be correct, but given how fatigue still effects BB/H/HR the same as it did when this presentation came out, I don't think the tree has changed.
