I do like how Replay has an element of this. But also, if you corrected your real-life BB% by base situation stats so they do NOT include IBB, I’ll bet the numbers would not be nearly so dramatic. Unless I missed something, I think the stats you show include BB’s + IBB’s.

Yep - they include both IBB and BB.

Actually, it would be easy to make that adjustment, since Baseball Reference provides that data. I'll see what I can do.

And, once again, Replay nails this. The Column 5 (walk) results vary by base situation and the impact of the infield positioning in Column 4 will also produce variance in batting averages by base situation. But it's not too extreme (e.g., pitchers with good control *never* walking anyone if first base is occupied). (PS - I am greatly enjoying your posts and videos.)
