This release contains the following enhancements and bug fixes:
- Improvements made to the algorithm used to select pinch hitters.
- Added a new option to set a limit for starting pitcher durability. The default value is 140 pitches. This option is only relevant for old-time seasons. Modern season libraries are very unlikely to have pitchers that reach this limit.
- Added a new mode to the Edit Managers dialog box. This mode is called Quick Watch and it will set both team managers to Computer and allow you to watch just the next plate appearance. After the plate appearance (or when there is a wild pitch, passed ball, or successful steal) both managers will automatically be set to Human. The hot key for this is q. Be aware that Quick Watch hands over all decision making for both teams to the Computer Manager for the upcoming plate appearance. If you want to make managerial decisions during a plate appearance set the manager to human for one or both teams at the start of the plate appearance. Like all of the Edit Manager options, the hot key will not work unless the Edit Manager dialog box is visible.
- Updated the User Guide by adding a new Quick Tip section on setting team managers during a game.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the catcher's arm rating from impacting a base runner's steal rating.
