Melissa's greatest attribute in 2001 is her glove. She has a perfect 100 coordination rating, making her an excellent choice for first base. She also has some decent pop in that lefty bat, with 81 swing power, although the 41 contact is less than desirable. On the other hand, her biggest weaknesses are her painfully slow legs (37 speed) and her disastrously weak throwing arm (24 strength).

Batting 	
Running 	
Pitching	
Fielding	
Melissa in 2003 is supposed to be mainly a pitcher. Unfortunately, she's only halfway decent at that. The two biggest plusses to her pitching are her hooks, both rated 75/100. Her stamina and heat are both rated 60, and her slowball is rated 30. There are definitely better options for a starting pitcher. It almost seems as if she was lazily made, because her glove, speed, and batting power ratings are all 50.
==League History==
===BBL===
====Early Seasons====
Generics were off-limits in Season 1, and a select few were eligible in Season 2. Generics were made widely available in Season 3, with a few exceptions. Most notably, the pro clones were not eligible to be drafted this season, which included Melissa.
In Season 4 onward, virtually all players were eligible to be drafted. However, with Melissa's status as a pitcher lock, and many better pitchers in the draft pool, she was passed over season after season.
====Season 8====
Melissa finally played a BBL season in Season 8, after she was drafted 200th overall in the 9th round by coach Emery92 of the Bombers. Melissa had the offensive benefit of being the 9th round pick, which made her eligible to use power ups. She ended up hitting 11 home runs due to her privilege. On the mound, she pitched most of the innings for the Bombers and had some stellar stats, posting a microscopic 0.09 ERA after allowing just 1 run in 64 1/3 innings.
The Bombers won the Season 8 World Series with Melissa on the mound.
====Season 10====
=====2001=====
Melissa returned in Season 10, on the 2001 side, after she drafted in the 9th round with the 187th overall pick by coach AnjouPays of the Devil Rays. This allowed her to use batting power-ups. For the first time, she was drafted in Backyard Baseball 2001, making her a clone of Jason Giambi instead of Tim Hudson. However, she had a much weaker season than her first appearance, batting an even .500 with just 3 home runs.
