| For readings like "E", there is no difference between lefties and righties, however, if the result on a batter's card is something like "3b RG ss", this means the result is a routine grounder to third base if the pitcher is a lefty, and a routine grounder to shortstop if the pitcher is a righty. | For readings like "E", there is no difference between lefties and righties, however, if the result on a batter's card is something like "3b RG ss", this means the result is a routine grounder to third base if the pitcher is a lefty, and a routine grounder to shortstop if the pitcher is a righty. |

| | Once you've rolled and found the proper reading, head to the game charts to determine what happens. For example, Mike Trout rolls a 455. Because Trout's facing a lefty, we use the vs. LH column and see that Trout struck out. If Kershaw was a righty, however, it would have been a double down the left field line. |
| ====== Ratings ====== | ====== Ratings ====== |

| Pitchers either have a BF SP, representing their stamina as a starting pitcher, and a BF RP rating, representing relief pitcher stamina, or just a BF RP rating. In both cases, this represents the number of batters a pitcher can face before becoming fatigued. The only exception to this, other than when instructed on charts, comes when intentionally walking a batter. Doing so does not count as a batter faced for that pitcher. The Old rating represents for how many innings a starter can stay, the type of reliever the pitcher is, or both. For more information, consult the fatigue game chart. Clayton Kershaw can face up to 29 batters as a starter, and up to 19 as a reliever, before being fatigued. | Pitchers either have a BF SP, representing their stamina as a starting pitcher, and a BF RP rating, representing relief pitcher stamina, or just a BF RP rating.

| Under this is the Rest chart. Kershaw's rest ratings are -/8/13/16. This represents the number of batters a pitcher may face before they must rest. A dash represents a pitcher who MUST rest after any appearance, otherwise a pitcher may appear in consecutive games, as long as the total number of batters faced in those games is less than or equal to the first rating. If a pitcher faces more than the "0" rating in one or more consecutive outings, the pitcher must rest 1 day. If the pitcher faces more then the "1" rating, the pitcher must rest 2 days, etc. | Under this is the Rest chart. Kershaw's rest ratings are -/8/13/16.

| There are many symbols on the players' cards, each of which refers to a specific situation or play type. Most of the results' meanings can be found on the charts, but some can be ambiguous. In addition, it is usually a good idea to read the charts, as there are subtle, yet important, changes made each year. | There are many symbols on the players' cards, each of which refers to a specific situation or play type. Most of the readings are easy to understand from the cards alone, but there are special situations which can occur, so it's a good idea to look at the charts . In addition, it is usually a good idea to read the charts after each new release, as there are subtle, yet important, changes made each year. |
