Amir Khan

## About

Amir loves rock-and-roll and is an inspiring drummer. He looks up to his brother, Achmed Khan, often times talking about him in his bios. He's typically considered the "smarter" brother of the two in terms of general game knowledge, and is typically an average player in every game he's featured in, except Basketball.

Amir's near clones are Gary Allen and Joella Minotti. They more closely resemble the version of Amir that's boosted when playing with Achmed, having very high batting but poor pitching.

## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Amir Khan

When he is on the same team as Achmed, his ratings become 10/7/4/5.

Amir is a great pitcher with a devastatingly good heat and some excellent hooks. His pitching ratings in total are the highest of any human player, in fact. His stamina, though, is not very good at all, which prevents him from staying on the mound for more than a couple innings. At the plate, he is a solid line drive swinger with some occasional home run power, and his maxed-out vision makes it easier to hit than most players in the game. His skill set becomes more like his brother Achmed when the two are teamed up, albeit a slightly less good version of him. Amir's batting ability becomes strong, but his vision and pitching abilities decrease (except for his right hook, which remains the same).

From the computer's perspective, Amir's perfect vision and high smarts (also referred to as "instincts" in the game) make him an extremely common player to put at the catcher position, just as much as a pitcher. As a catcher, he gets eaten alive by base runners, as his stamina and arm are simply not good enough to withstand the constant throwing a catcher has to do. When he does pitch, he usually gets chased very quickly due to his stamina, and this results in him being a dead weight on an AI team. Having Achmed alleviates both of these issues slightly by giving him more stamina and a better arm, but he's still not "great" as a fielder.

### Backyard Football 2002

Amir Khan

Amir is a great wide receiver with some of the best hands in the game. He will lose a few 50-50 throws due to his lack of height, but if he's open, he's an automatic first down. He can also play kicker if you absolutely need one.

## League History

### BBL

While Amir's typically not considered one of the best players in the league, usually somewhere around average, he does have one thing over his superstar hitting brother - a World Series win. He usually gets paired with his bro Achmed, causing him to not pitch much, but in the earlier seasons he did pitch very frequently. Despite the lessened pitching, and the trophy he won, it's been proven in the league that Amir with Achmed is usually better than when he is without.

#### Season 1

In Season 1, Amir was selected in the 5th round by coach GSchlim of the Braves. For this team, he was the main starting pitcher and hit in the middle of the order. He helped the Braves win the first BBL World Series.

#### Season 2

Amir was taken in the 5th round yet again for the Indians and coach Ellman. For the first time, Amir was teammates with his brother Achmed. Despite his decrease in his pitching rating, he was still the main pitcher for the Indians that season.

#### Season 3

In Season 3, Amir was taken with pick 33 in the 2nd round by coach Mavfatha of the Bombers. Amir did not have Achmed as a teammate, and thus spent another season on the mound for the Bombers. This was the last time Amir was featured as a starting pitcher.

#### Season 4

Amir's draft stock slipped this season, getting selected at pick 109 in the 5th round by coach jyknight of the Cardinals. However, he ended up getting traded to the Rangers and was reunited with his brother. Amir had a solid season in the middle of the Rangers' lineup.

#### Season 5 - Lulu

For the second time, coach Mavfatha drafted Amir, this time for the Orioles with pick 90 in the fifth round. Amir improved upon his statline from the previous season.

#### Season 6

Amir was chosen in his lowest draft slot yet, at pick 116 in the 5th round by coach Nick Foles is my dad of the Athletics. However, Amir had his best offensive season yet, posting career highs in average, home runs, RBIs, runs scores, and stolen bases.

#### Season 7

Amir once again got picked in the 5th round (albeit a bit higher than last time at pick 97), this time by Wizard's extremely high-offense Wombats. Playing with his brother once again, he managed to make it all the way to the playoffs, where he was eliminated by the Rangers. While his performance didn't stand out too much among the incredibly stacked offensive lineup, he still performed very well, having the second best offensive season of his career. He also hit the most doubles in his career the Lulu era.

#### Season 8

Amir and Achmed formed the dynamic duo yet again, this time on the Rangers, after coach areyoutyler scooped up Amir with the 82nd overall pick in round 4. Amir was a slugger this season, setting new career highs for home runs and RBIs. The Rangers, however, finished 7-7 and missed the playoffs.

#### Season 9

In Season 9, Amir was drafted 118th overall in the 5th round by coach PepsiBoyTTV of the Diamondbacks. While the D'Backs did not draft Achmed, they eventually acquired him in a trade, pairing the brothers once again. Amir continued his success from Season 8, batting 0.545 with 11 home runs and 31 RBIs. Also, for the first time since Season 3, Amir did a bit of pitching. Amir and the D'Backs made it to the NLCS, where they lost to the Monsters.

#### Season 10

##### 2001

The following season, Amir matched up with his brother Achmed on the Cubs, coached by mattitude, whose brother was also a coach in the rBBL that season. Amir was drafted 97th overall by Itaniium, who eventually traded him to mattitude. Amir had a solid season, tied for second on the team with Achmed with 12 home runs, and finishing second on the team with 26 RBIs.

##### 2003

Amir was a contentious subject during the 2003 league draft. Coach Emery92 was originally going to coach the Hornets, but he had to drop out and Yurya stood in to draft until a replacement coach could be found. Yurya drafted Achmed Khan in the second round, vowing to not take Amir as well, even though they are often paired. Later in the draft, a replacement was found for the Hornets, coach lillwaws26 (who later turned the team into the Red Sox). Lillwaws wanted to draft Amir for the brother boost, but league officials thought that would be unfair since Yurya had told the league that he would not pair the two. Without the brother boost, and with concerns about his low stamina and high likelihood to substitute in as pitcher, Amir survived all the way until the 9th round where he was drafted 187th overall by coach Eauxps I. Fourgott of the Melonheads. After a few practice games, Eauxps decided that Amir was not the right fit for the Melonheads and he dropped him as a free agent. Ultimately, no other coach in the 2003 league picked up Amir and Amir did not play that season.
