Good teams in SSUSA hit at a .750 to .800 BA, making the defense only 20-25% successful maximum.(even getting 3 outs per inning is a stretch, more often than not, 5 runs are scored before the "super defense" can record the outs) There is no defense for a base hit! The equalizer is the 5 run rule.(there is no equalizer for a great defense!) Offense wina a very high majority of games, a "special defense" will save a game for you every now and then. There is no math to do in offense vs. defense, trying to do so would only be done by a ZERO. offense wins games,DEFENSE wins championships. |

The run rule and the age of players reflexes changes that old professional sports saying. I'm not saying it would never win you an inning, a game, or even a tourney. I'm saying defense is not going to do for you very ofter against a better offensive team. |
