FiveThirtyEight sims the rest of Buster Posey’s career with OOTP 18
|
|
|
Last time, we let you know about a new partnership with Nate Silver’s forecasting site
FiveThirtyEight, which
started with an interesting question: How would Ryan Howard’s career have turned out if the dreaded defensive shift was magically erased?
Their next “What if?” scenario involved simulating the rest of Buster Posey’s career to see if he might join the 18 other catchers who have been enshrined at Cooperstown.
Check out the article to see what happened.
If you have some “What if?” scenarios of your own you’d like to try, get your copy of OOTP 18 and try them out. Find out why Mets Chronicle called the game “a must have for any hardcore baseball fan or historian.”

T.J. Lauerman, OOTP’s Baseball Community Manager, has been guiding the San Diego Padres through a rebuilding project that saw the team suffer a rough 2017 season before getting a glimmer of hope with an 80-82 record in 2018.
How’d the team do in 2019 and the beginning of 2020?

OOTP Night with the Trenton Thunder
|
|
|
We have a new partnership this year with the Trenton Thunder, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. On July 4, they helped celebrate the American holiday by hosting
an Out of the Park Baseball night at their ballpark, and on August 24, we returned for Hockey Night at the stadium.
We had a blast, as did the fans, although Trenton fell to the Richmond Flying Squirrels, 5-1. However, Trenton has clinched their division championship and is headed to the playoffs. We congratulate them on a great season and thank them for their support this year.
