'SEQ'

Looking through my team's stats I became curious as to how 'SEQ' is calculated for a batter. I've gathered that the starting lineup is numbered 1 to 9, but what I don't understand is how pinch hitters are scored. For instance, my team brought in a pinch hitter, the first pinch hitter of the game, in the top of the ninth and his SEQ value for that game is apparently 12. Why is this?

Furthermore, as I score a team that usually uses the DH rule, I was confused to see that one of my pitchers SEQ value for the season is 946. He's only batted in one game so I'm not sure why this is. Any ideas?

Thanks.

The SEQ is really an internal value and is the order the players appear in the lineup. Even players that are not batting still have a SEQ. When viewing cumulative stats, it sums up the number which makes it even less useful. We would suggest not trying to make much from this value. We may even remove it from the display in a future update.

Please do. Find it to be of no value and it is confusing.

It is not turned on by default, so as long as you do not turn it on, you will not even see it and it would have no effect for you.
