Anyone able to explain "defensive efficiency" to me? Mine shows 11th in the NL at .695.

How many balls in play your defense turns into outs. So basically its 1.000-opponents BABIP=defensive efficiency

I thought it had something to do with errors and fielding but it sounds like it doesn't have much to do with those. It's a reflection on my pitching mostly, right?

You will never get 1.000, but the average should be around .700, and good is around .715, and bad is .675

It's a combination of all of those things.

Actually Peter, you are on the right track. if your defense makes errors, it effectively means they are not turning those into outs, so your def eff goes down. Also, pay attention to your fielder efficiency EFF (on player card, fielding stats) and range factor (RF). RF is how often a player gets to a ball in the field, EFF is how often he turns those into outs. Think of it this way. A player who gets to balls that others don't but doesn't turn them into outs (think of infield hits, no plays at first)is a player with a high RF but a lower EFF. You want players to get to balls, AND turn them into outs. Your middle infield will generally have 4.5+ RF when they are pretty good at getting to balls, (OF are lower) and a player with a EFF of 1.050 and above is highly coveted by teams. Anything below 1.000 is not very good, with 1.000 being league average most times. Hope this helps!
