All characters begin with 143 Parameter Points (PP) allocated over the seven Parameters of a character. See: Parameters.

The allocation of your Parameter Points is important when developing the position you would like your player to play. In Cal Ripken's Real Baseball, different positions on the field have certain attributes, which are stronger than others. It will be your job to develop an outfielder with arm strength and speed, or a pitcher with throwing accuracy and stamina. Once your Parameter Points have been allocated and confirmed, you will not be able to change them.

Select from any of the nine positions below your character name to review the attributes associated with that position under the section labeled “Parameter.”

Pitcher: Pitchers begin with excellent starting stamina, arm strength, and accuracy. The downfalls include: poor body strength, quickness and speed.

Catcher:Selecting the Catcher position will start your character with excellent arm strength and accuracy. Body strength and stamina is above average, with the downfalls including poor speed and quickness.

First Base: A First Baseman will start off with great stamina, catching range, and body strength. However, they are slow and have poor arm strength.

Second Base: The Second Base position begins with good speed, quickness, and stamina. They start with average body strength, throwing accuracy, and catching range, but have below average arm strength.

Third Base: A Third Baseman starts with above average arm strength and power. Be weary of their lacking speed and stamina.

Short Stop: Short Stops begin with excellent stamina. All other categories are evenly dispersed leaving a modest beginning in speed, body strength, accuracy, and strength.
