## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Ronny Dobbs

Ronny isn't the best at any one skill, but he does have some use in all facets of the game. He strikes out a lot, but he has enough power to hit some home runs every once in a while. He won't steal many bases, but he's not a liability on the basepaths. He doesn't have the stamina to be a starting pitcher, but he has a great Heat pitch that's good for an inning or two. He won't catch many balls on the fly, but he can rifle them back in with a great throwing arm.

### Backyard Football 2002

Ronny Dobbs

Ronny is one of the worst kids in Backyard Football 2002, with no rating higher than 6. His main abilities are throwing and running, but he's not fast enough to be a running back, so QB is likely his best position. He won't be able to throw the deep ball, but he's accurate on close passes. He is not often chosen by the computer teams, and if he is, he likely won't play on their offense. He has, however, been chosen by the user team in the BFFL.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 1

In Season 1, Ronny played for the Expos and coach crazyei8hts. He batted 5th in the lineup, but batting behind slugger Mark McGwire didn't leave him many opportunities for RBIs. He also struck out the most of anyone on the team. In the field, he played a solid third base.

#### Season 2

In Season 2, Ronny was chosen by coach Yurya of the Monsters. Ronny's production increased in Season 2; most notably, he more than doubled his home run output.

#### Season 3

Ronny was chosen in Season 3 with the 128th overall pick in the 6th round by the Cubs. This team is cited as one of the worst in BBL history. However, Ronny's numbers weren't that much worse than his previous 2 seasons.

#### Season 4

Ronny was taken a little sooner in the S4 draft, at pick 111 in the 5th round by coach Eauxps I. Fourgott of the Melonheads. However, his numbers were the same as, if not worse than, his season 3 totals.

#### Season 5 - Lulu

Despite Ronny's less than stellar past two seasons, he was drafted even higher in Season 5. Coach T-Boz of the Devil Rays took Ronny with the 77th overall pick in the 4th round. And it looked like T-Boz knew how to use Ronny's strengths! Ronny batted a career best 0.652 with these Devil Rays and also racked up 23 strikeouts in 17 innings pitched.

#### Season 6

Impressed by his previous season, T-Boz got Ronny back on the Devil Rays even sooner in the S6 draft with the 27th overall pick in the second round. His batting numbers declined, but his pitching numbers improved.

#### Season 7

Ronny wasn't taken quite as early in the Season 7 draft, falling to pick #129 in the 6th round, chosen by coach Jarod Johnson of the Dodgers, although the team eventually was transferred to hitace. Ronny had an excellent season, batting 0.533 with 7 home runs.

#### Season 8

Ronny's draft stock came back up a little bit in Season 8, and he was taken with the 93rd overall pick in round 4 by coach shrewsbury91 of the Expos. Ronny's numbers came down a little bit after not being used by hitting wizard hitace, but he still enjoyed a fine season.

#### Season 9

Ronny slipped a little further in the draft, taken 115th overall in the 5th round, once again by coach shrewsbury91, this time for the Marlins. Ronny's numbers were similar to his Season 8 production, although he did bat a career worst 0.302.

#### Season 10

##### 2001

In the 2001 draft of Season 10, Ronny was drafted 143rd overall in the 7th round by coach jakerthesnak of the Bombers. Ronny batted just 0.333, but he was second on the team with 12 RBIs.

##### 2003

In the 2003 league, Ronny was taken 74th overall in the 4th round by coach mattitude of the Padres. Ronny did not live up to 4th round expectations, batting just 0.395 with 2 home runs and 7 RBIs.

## Trivia

* If you put Ronny on a team with his sister Sally, he receives a reduction in skill ratings while Sally improves. This has never been attempted by a BBL team.
