## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Jocinda Smith

Jocinda is often maligned because of one fatal flaw. Despite her having a 10/10 batting rating, most of that is due to her great contact, and not much power. Therefore, she does not hit home runs very often or very easily. She is tough to strike out and can often get outfield singles, but extra base hits don't come by as much for her.

In the field, Jocinda has the highest first base priority. That is, the computer will place her at 1B unless there is a pro first baseman to bump her from that position. If you can get Jocinda out of there, she makes a decent shortstop or third baseman; she can scoop up most grounders and has a solid 3/5 arm.

### Backyard Football 2002

Jocinda Smith

Jocinda is a great all around player, with the one knock on her being speed. When used by the computer, she is often placed at QB, but has also been seen on the offensive line and at wide receiver.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 1

Jocinda's first BBL appearance was for the Bombers, coached by areyoutyler. She wasn't one of the big bats on the team, but she was a solid contributor.

#### Season 2

Jocinda returned in Season 2, selected by the Astros. She improved upon her season 1 performance and won the World Series as a member of the Astros under substitute coach gmchappe.

#### Season 3

Jocinda came back for Season 3 and was drafted by coach JibboDaHibbo of the White Sox with the 43rd overall pick in the second round. Despite her best season yet, she was actually statistically the worst hitter on the White Sox, which goes to show how stacked that team was.

#### Season 4

Jocinda was taken in the 7th round with the 165th overall pick by coach crazyei8hts of the Giants. She was mainly drafted to push Butch Sherrod over to shortstop in the Giants' AI defense. But she fit well in the theme of overloading on the batting statistic. While she did not hit as many home runs as the other sluggers on the team, she reliably got on base with many singles.

#### Season 5 - Lulu

Jocinda was taken in the 7th round again, this time with the 153rd overall pick by coach danbrink13 of the Dodgers. Coach danbrink also tried to load up on sluggers, but it's possible he didn't know that Jocinda doesn't hit many home runs despite her 10/10 batting rating.

#### Season 6

Jocinda was taken in the 8th round with the 180th overall pick by coach Yurya of the Diamondbacks. She had a season that was right up there with the best seasons she's had. She tied her career high in home runs with 3.

#### Season 7

Drafted in the late rounds once again, at pick 175 in round 8, Jocinda went to the Rangers, coached by jyknight. She played a mean first base and batted 0.511.

#### Season 8

Jocinda got taken a little earlier than usual in Season 8. She was taken with pick 127 in the 6th round by coach elchrisblanco of the Fishes. Jocinda had a stellar year, posting a career high in RBIs with 20. In the first round of the playoffs against the A's, she hit a home run in all three games and was one of the main reason the Fishes advanced to the NLCS.

#### Season 9

In Season 9, Jocinda was drafted 205th overall in the 9th round by coach SilverBullet102 of the Brewers. Since she was drafted in the 9th round, she was allowed to use powerups, which helped her bat a career high 0.595.

#### Season 10

##### 2001

Jocinda came back in Season 10. She was drafted 165th overall in the 8th round of the 2001 draft by coach Eauxps I. Fourgott of the Blue Jays, who was looking to draft an "all-tall" team. Jocinda was a valuable defensive member of the team and an okay piece on offense, batting an even 0.500 with 8 RBIs and 8 runs scored.

##### 2003

On the 2003 side, Jocinda was taken with the 148th pick in the 7th round by coach c0rn of the Indians, although this team would also be coached by Madoc. Between the two coaches, Jocinda had a struggle, batting just 0.250 with 4 RBIs and scoring no runs.
