- Powerful: "Pack an enormous punch at the plate, send the ball soaring by increasing the overall strength of a player's bat."
- Reliable: "Grants your hitters a greater consistency of making contact, helping them get on base with higher frequency and have less whiffed swing attempts."
- Dialed: "Increases the chance of finding the center of the bat, leading to more solid contact and hard-hit balls."
- Patient: "Gives your hitters a very disciplined eye, making it harder for pitchers to get them to swing at bad pitches, thus increasing overall ball contact."
- Clutch: "Your batter steps up during high-intensity moments, having a heightened ability to get solid contact and to drive in runs when they're needed the most!"
- Show Off: "These players crave the spotlight and swing for the fences with all their might! Players will have more powerful swings that send balls soaring, and with that they will have a greater capacity for home runs!"
- Streaky: "Watch out when your hitters start to get hot; this talent makes them increasingly harder to get out with each base hit!"
- Chopper: "Players will learn the art of keeping the ball on the ground, meaning getting infield hits are easier but they will generally have lower lofted hits."

- Rampaging: "Watch out when your pitchers start to rack up strikeouts; they become exponentially more imposing over the course of the game!"
- Composed: "Your pitcher will take their pitching to the next level when their back is against the wall, as the increased movement during high-pressure situations means these players become harder to predict."
