Pitching Grades
-
How is the best way to find the pitcher codes? Like after the grade A what does the 2 or xyz or whatever stand for?

the 2 is the pitcher’s fielding rating. Pitchers are either a 1 or 2, C 5-9, 1B 2-6, 2B 4-9, 3B 3-5, SS 5-10, OF 1-3…you add up the total fielding and it gives you the fielding rating for the team (35 or less is fielding 3, 36-40 fielding 2, 41 and up fielding 1). This is something you have to do while playing cards and dice, APBA GO does this for you automatically.
The x,y,z, zz, k, r, and w are strike-out and control ratings that go above the normal pitching grades A, B, C, D. k, x, y add more strike outs, z and zz limit walks, w adds walks and passed balls, r turns a strike-out into a flyout or groundout. Again this is something you would see in the card and dice game and where APBA GO does it for you automatically. An example of this with a play result number (red numbers on the card) of 30: fly out: PO:LF (K-SO;PO-C), here the pitchers K rating trumps the fly out.
The best way to find out what all the symbols mean would be to purchase the physical card and dice game and read through the instructions/play book.
Hope this was helpful.
