Fielding stats are from simmed years only. All positions where the player had at least 1/3 of an inning played are listed. The Team and Lg listed is the team and league the player played for at the end of the season. The OOTP database does not provide a way to track a player's stats when that player plays for more than 1 team in any one year. The only way to get this information would be to track a player's stats from the boxscores, game-by-game. This is obviously too time consuming to do. So the statistical anomalies this creates will just have to be ignored.

Here is a breakdown of the above stats:

Stat Description

Year The year the season occured

Age Player's age on July 1st of that year

Tm The last team the player played on that year

Lg The league the team is in

POS Position played

G Games played

GS Games Started

IP Innings played

PO Putouts

A Assists

E Errors

DP Double Plays

FPCT Fielding Percentage = (A + PO) / (A + PO + E)

RF Range Factor = 9 * (A + PO) / IP

The following stats only appear for catchers:

RSA Runner Steal Attempts

RTO Runners Thrown Out

RTO% Runners Thrown Out Percentage = RTO / RSA

PB Passed Balls

If the player played more than one position, then the next group of lines is their career positional totals for each position played.

The next line is the players's overall career fielding stats.

If the player has played for more than one season, the last line lists the player's career high in each statistical category. "High" here means most extreme, i.e., lowest ERRORS. This is not their best season, but the best for each individual stat regardless of which year it occured.
