Batting average is a stat that records the percentage of at-bats in which a player gets a hit. A player with a high CON rating will be more likely to record a hit when they put the ball in play.

However, if the player reaches a base safely they will have recorded a hit (which base they reach determines the kind of hit). They've hit the ball and, while it remains in the field of play, a defensive player has the opportunity to make a play to get the player out. When a player doesn't strikeout, walk, or hit a homerun then they have 'put the ball in play'. The CON (contact) stat is related to the player's BABIP or 'batting average on balls in play', a stat you mentioned. It's fairly self explanatory, the higher the rating, the fewer strikeouts a player will record. The Avoid K rating dictates how often a player strikes out (K is short for strikeout in baseball). Baseballs stats for position players essentially record how often a player achieves particular outcomes. The OOTP ratings for position players (everyone who isn't a pitcher) dictate how often a player will achieve particular outcomes. You have 4 types of 'hits', singles, doubles, triples and home runs, as well as a way to reach first base without getting a hit, the walk. So you have 2 ways to make an out, striking out and being put out by fielders. So in any given at bat there are essentially 7 possible outcomes: the batter can strikeout, hit the ball but still be out because a fielder caught the ball in the air or threw it to first base before the batter could reach first base, hit the ball and reach 1st base (single), hit the ball and reach 2nd base (double), hit a triple, hit a home run or draw a walk. I'll do my best at explaining the attributes and stats. Give me a starting point for baseball generally and OOTP specifically. I love the whole sports management genre but after many years I'm done with Football Manager, Motorsport Manager is too arcadey and very lacking in depth and features, and there doesn't seem to be any kind of remotely decent NBA or NFL management sim around. I've heard of baseball players still playing at the top level in their forties, but no idea if this is like a Stanley Matthews/George Blanda/Gordie Howe/Martina Navratilova type exceptions, or the norm. What's a good age to start thinking about not signing/renewing players? I know on most sports people generally start to decline in their early to mid thirties. What are baseball cards? Are they like Pokemon cards? In which case why do I care? Presumably W and L are won and lost? But no idea about SV, ERA, GS, K/9, BABIP, egg Likewise I have no idea what any of the stats are.

CON/STU, POW/MOV, EYE/CON, gap, avoid k's, infield RNG, turn DP, outfield err. I have no idea what any of the attributes mean. Guy is currently earning $10m and wants ~$24m).

I have no idea who most of the players are, who's good, how to tell who's good, or who has potential to be good, or what a fair salary in baseball is (team owner wants me to sign a guy to an extension. I don't know what any of the positions do - SP, RP and CL don't even seem to show up on the depth chart. So now I come to play OOTP I realise I have some problems, and I don't even know where to begin with learning:

I've watched various baseball matches on TV over the years but that hasn't really aided my comprehension, like why does the batter seem to always wait till the 3rd go before he tries hitting the ball? I'm not American so it's not like I've grown up with baseball all around me my whole life.

When I was a lot younger (around 11) I briefly played baseball on local kids team, but honestly it was a long time ago and, besides, all I did was hit the ball hard, coach and teammates seemed pretty happy with the results, I didn't pay much attention beyond that. Thought I'd finally give it a go and now realise I know virtually nothing about baseball. I've had OOTP 16 sat in my steam library for ages.
