Moving Ohtani on Fantrax

[tigers]

Can someone explain to me how to move Ohtani between hitting and pitching lineups? I couldn't figure it out last year and still can't figure it out this year. I really need his arm and bat.

Thanks,
Bruce

I think I figured out why in 2019 he didn't have any pitching stats and last year he only had 1.2 IP so I don't think he qualifies as a pitcher yet. I'll see what we can do

Bruce if you move Ohtani to a Reserve (Bench) spot, does that open up his ability to be placed as a Hitter or Pitcher?


This is a response I found on a Fantrax forum as well in regards to the Ohtani situation:

"Here's what I got from the Fantrax team today (ours is a paid premium league):

"By default, Ohtani will be handled just like any other player with multi-position eligibility. If he has hitter and pitcher eligibility in your league, he can be started at either position. He will only receive the stats/points associated with the roster slot in which he is started by the owner.

If you want him to accrue hitting AND pitching stats/points from one roster slot, here are your options:

If you have a Points or H2H Points league, the league commissioner can add hitting scoring categories (League setup-->Scoring) to the Pitching group if you want a player to accrue hitting points when in a Pitching roster slot. Note this will apply to all pitchers. That means that ALL players started in a pitching roster slot will also accrue hitting points when at bat.

If you wish to have a special roster slot where only the player in this slot will receive pitching and hitting points, your league can add a roster position (League Setup-->Rosters), such as Starting Pitcher 2. As above, add any desired hitting categories to the Pitching group, but assign zero points to each hitting category (meaning players in a regular pitching slot would receive zero points for hitting, as normal). Check the "Score Positions Differently" box on the League Setup-->Scoring screen. Save. Click on the Starting Pitcher 2 position in purple just above the scoring grid on that screen. Select each hitting scoring category from the dropdown and assign the desired points for each (such as 2 for double, 4 for HR, etc --- this will override hitting scoring for any player started in the Starting Pitcher 2 slot). Any player placed in this special Starting Pitcher 2 slot would receive Pitching points as well as Hitting points. Non-Ohtani owners might wish to place a good-hitting pitcher in this slot, such as Bumgarner, for example.

If you have a Roto or H2H Roto Categories league, the league can enable "Players will always accumulate stats in all scoring categories" in League Setup-->Scoring-->Preferences tab. By enabling this, all players in a Pitching roster slot will also accrue hitting stats, and vice versa."

Yeah I saw that when searching but it was hit first year in 2018 which would make sense.

I asked Kris to look in to our scoring structure to make sure our set up allows for stats to be accrued as both a Hitter & Pitcher.

The one thing we don't wanna do is have Pitchers who hit due to NL rules accumulating stats while they bat too

Right i read that was an option. Might need to reach out to fantrax support tomorrow
