Has anyone experimented with this setting? What effect does it have? Less double plays? More caught stealing? What type of offense should be set to a 5 or a 1?

I've never tried anything higher than 0. I'd think you'd have to draft a Dodger Stadium team that can't draw a walk to save their lives and never strkes out. Like a bunch of little David Ecksteins (Oh God the horror!). I guess the runner on first gets to third more often.......or something.

Absolutely more caught stealings....I think the SIM logic for H&R is pretty quirky. I usually set mine pretty low.

What type of offense should be set to a 5 or a 1?

Teams built with the old "speed strategy" work well with 5's. In general, teams that don't have a lot of hitting should probably use higher #'s.

Teams that rely on HR's probably should avoid it.

I usually leave it at 3 unless I have a particularly speedy team... then I might bump it to 4.

I usually use about a three. I don't notice a lot of caught stealings. More often than not, the guy at the plate grounds out and the runner from first ends up on second, avoiding the DP.

Hit and run has more to do with contact hitters than speed.
