Every* at bat you have, you will draw a walk, provided that you stand in the batter's box for each pitch, close enough to the plate that you would be able to swing and cover the entire strike zone with a 33 inch bat, if you chose to swing, which you won't. You'll take 4 pitches and walk each* time.

The asterisk is that you'll occasionally get hit by a pitch, in line with the MLB average, which is about 1% of the time.

Other than your preternatural ability to draw walks, you're you, in terms of base running, fielding, susceptibility to injury, etc.

Could you make an MLB roster? Earn a starting role?

Side question: How valuable would a player be if he waked each time and was as good in the field and as a base runner as the average starting MLB outfielder?

There are two ways to do this:

First is optimize your physique for baserunning, where (despite the classic-xo "you'd get thrown out every time" athletic defeatism) you could probably become above-average at stealing. (The physique needed for hitting is nowhere close to ideal for baserunning; there's a good YT video on this that goes through this compellingly.) With constant practice, you could become a bad-but-probably-not-worst-in-the-league fielder; it'd be interesting to see where they stuck you (1B would be good if they don't already have a power hitter there). Fielding also doesn't decline with age like most other skills (arm does, though, which is why 1B would be ideal). Your bat is only ever used for occasional bunting (and to stick up your ass).

Second is you get big as fuck and become a pure power hitter. You get to go to an 0-2 count and still take 4 balls, so there's no penalty to taking two big-ass almost-certain-to-miss upward tomahawk swings at 2 pitches.

Either way, you could keep a starting spot on a roster into your fucking 60s doing this.

In terms of getting to be a power hitter:

(1) Don't fight the hypo. You walk on four pitches each plate appearance. No swinging.

(2) LJL at any poster (who didn't play a little SEC ball in college), at any point in a thousand life times, getting good enough to where swinging would be anywhere close to plus-EV over a guaranteed walk. Most actual MLB players would be better off taking a guaranteed walk than swinging, except in certain scenarios, like runner in scoring position, no outs, just smash the ball and hope for an HR or sac fly.

Optimizing for baserunning is credited. I think an intelligent, in shape 40 year old could definitely steal a few bases.

You would definitely play RF, DH, or pinch hit only. Again, LJL at a presumably right-handed poster being good enough to handle stretching out to catch a bullet from the third baseman while keeping a foot on the bag, multiple times a game, on critical plays.

I mean, it depends on what the parameters of the hypo are: if taking a swing loses you your walk, then yes you're very obviously correct (and would be correct even for actual MLB players, let alone litigators); in that case, you look at the rules and see if you're even required to bring a bat up there--if so, all it ever gets used for is 'showing bunt' a handful of times early in the season before taking your ball.

If you get 2 freebie strikes before taking your BB, I think it becomes an interesting question whether it can be +EV to swing. There will obviously be situations where it wouldn't be, of course, but let's assume leadoff hitter of the game (no one on base, score 0-0). I'll note that it very clearly WOULD be highly +EV for a real mlb'er--the *vast* majority of the negative value of swinging comes from (1) the direct cost of the strike (which is zero to you); and (2) the costs of swinging in such a way as to minimize the odds of a strike, thus creating contact that's more apt to result in an out.

Isn't this just a close variant on the "swing on 3-0?" question, with the differences almost all running in my favor? (I.e., a hitter on 3-0 still does have to worry about striking out.) You would certainly agree that the swing selectivity and swing type you'd opt for in the hypo resembles 3-0 swings more than anything else, right?

Useless ChatGPT couldn't give me stats on 3-0 balls put into play, but I found an article with the following:

* "The Rays only put six balls in play on 3-0 counts in 2011, four of them hits -- a single, a double and two home runs."

* Arizona went "8-for-15 with four homers and a double" on 3-0 counts.

* "Outfielder Justin Upton went 5-for-8 with three homers and a double when he swung away on 3-0 counts last season."

* "[T]he Yankees have gone 2-for-2 with 64 walks in 66 plate appearances that ended with a 3-0 count."

I think a 100% OBP via walk will get you a spot on every MLB team. You just need to work on fielding (if they don't give you the DH spot or save you for a PH walk in a big spot) and running. Again I think with a 100% OBP you can make a roster being well below league average in running and fielding.

One of the problems is, the runners on base ahead of you either don't advance or advance only one base. When a batter reaches on a hit--instead of a walk--the runners can advance more. There's a lot of value you're missing by only ever reaching on a walk.

Not a sabermetrician, but pretty sure you'd be the highest paid player in the league even if you're an overweight slob. You'd be the lead off hitter and whatever team you're on would probably score at least 1 extra run per game on average

I don't think you'd be the highest paid player. The value to an MLB team of a middle-aged lawyer reaching first on a walk is way lower than the value of an MLB player reaching, never mind reaching on a mix of hits and walks.

Several players have OPS's at or above 1.000. And: Most of the plate appearances that contribute to those OPS's for them involve runners ahead of them on the bases being able to advance more (i.e., they're hits, not walks); they're better bases runners than any poster; they can actually play in the field.

I’m just lmaoing at the idiot poster in this thread thinking an XOer can work on his fielding when absolute piss missiles are hit at him anywhere in the infield or the first time he actually sees a major league fly ball go up into orbit. I remember my first fall game in JUCO and some monster hit a fly ball while I was playing right field and I was like holy shit this isn’t high school anymore. The ball looked like it disappeared in the sky before I found it again. And I played my whole life.

Also was a shortstop in HS and played outfield at my JUCO then my shitty college. Ground balls get tricky as fuck in college. Guys absolutely stroke the ball. I’m imagining some XOer smoothly fielding a ground ball and throwing it to first in time to get the runner.

That brings me to the next point why I played Right field (then centerfield starting my sophomore year). In the Fall of my freshman year I was an amazing fielder (glove work-wise)—I remember backhanding a ball in the hole during an intersquad game (before I was told to buy an outfield glove) and throwing it to first. Perfect throw and the guy beat it out. I was embarrassed as fuck. But guys are super fast starting in college (and this was fuckin JUCO). And the funniest thing about it is I had a good enough arm to play right field and throw runners out at third. The problem is that in the infield you need every split second, a perfect throw that doesn’t tail at all, and a quick release. Thankfully I could hit and got a spot in the outfield where all high school infielders who can hit at shitty college level go to die.

So lmao at the fuckin idiots in this thread who think in the mother fuckin big leagues they can maneuver this hypothetical as anything other than DH. And the manager/coach is going to shit his pants every time you get on base worrying that the catcher is going to throw a dart to first and nail you as your fat lawyer body tries to get back to 1st.

My kid plays 2nd. Super baseball dad was explaining my kid needs to stop trying to field the ball into his glove and think of it as more of a ramp to his throwing hand to shave off the .25 seconds extra it takes on the transfer. I don't know why but that stuck with me. He's the guy that said to focus on batting; if your kid can hit they will always find a spot for him.

This. This is a pretty hilarious thing about XOers too. For some reason XOers think they can just lose weight and be above average major league speed bc the balding XOer ran a 5K a couple of times. As if speed isn’t one of the 5 tools that scouts and colleges look at when considering a player. As if a major leaguer wasn’t likely a superstar athlete in 3 different sports growing up. I remember being at a Yankees Red Sox game and seeing David Ortiz run. My first thought was holy shit he’s not as slow as he looks on TV. He’s not breaking records but it sort of looked “baseball smooth” if that makes sense like he knew how to get a good jump off the ball like someone who played baseball their entire lives and knows how to play the game. Made me realize most of even the slowest players in the major leagues will be able to get better jumps and read the ball than some above average speed balding lawyer.

I could make this work by just walking and honorably taking 1st base. However, can you get benched? What are your expectations? How did you get in the lineup in the first place? Are you going up there with the manager knowing you are going to walk? Because if you go up there the first at bat looking like some fat creepy pedophile lawyer terrified as a 102 mph fastball buzzes you two inches from your ear, he might bench you right there despite walking.

Everyone knows you will walk every plate appearance--so long as you can stand in there and take 4 pitches, and with the 1%-ish chance of a HBP. You don't need to prove anything or try out, in terms of reaching base. Managers, GMs, etc. all know you walk in 4 pitches every time.

Beyond that, nothing is guaranteed. A manger could bench you because he doesn't like the cut of your jib. Fielding and base running are up to you.

And that's really the hypo: The GM knows you always walk. Will he sign you? The manager knows you always walk. How much will he play you? How much are you worth to the team?

After I’m established in the lineup I would do something crazy like run down the baseline to first with my arm in the air like Sosa so then fans go crazy and it becomes schtick and gets some notoriety/be in commercials.

Better hypo would be a lawyer who walks half the time and strikes out half the time. I think he would be worth rostering.

Explain. Would you make an MLB roster? Would you start, or would they just bring you in when the bases are loaded, then immediately pull you after you walk?

Sure. As long as you live and can meet the criteria for the hypo--stand in the batter's box for 4 pitches, and, impliedly, amble over to first after 4 pithces--the hypo applies to you, and you will walk every plate appearance.

What's your plan? How much more valuable to an MLB team will you be next year?

180.

But--Do you really think you're as valuable to a team as an Ohtani/Judge-level player, the other guys in the 10 WAR ballpark?

The sorcery that calculates a fancystat like WAR probably can't sufficiently account for something as extreme as you walk everytime and then it's a 40-year old lawyer with short legs on base.

I'd call up every single minor league ball club, tell them I guarantee I will walk 100% of the time, and I'll give the manager $10,000 if I don't. Someone would bite pretty quick. After 10 or 15 walks in a row in single A, you'd get noticed and start moving up.

This thread reminds me of this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwMfT2cZGHg

If you don't want to take the time to watch it, the conclusion is that even if Barry Bonds never swung his bat, he would have been one of the top players in the league simply by virtue of the number of walks he drew. And in his best season, he had an OBP of about .600. An OBP of 1.000 is insane.

"In his final at bat, in the seventh game of the World Series, he hits a home run to win the game and series (thus achieving a lifetime batting average of 1/1, or 1.000, albeit in postseason play only). After the season, having earned enough money to set up a chicken farm, King does so and retires from baseball"
