    Default subclass and abstracts

    Hey guys I have a quick question.. So I have a class called Team that is a collection of players and managers for a baseball team, and one of my required methods is to calculate the total amount of Home Runs hit by the batters. Now along with the Team class I have an abstract Employee class, an abstract Player class and a Batter class that extends the Player class I thought this would be fairly easy but it is coming out to be pretty hard my code is as follow:

    class Team {
        public int _numPitcher;
        public int _numBatter;
        public String _manager;
        public ArrayList<Player> team;
     
        public Team(String manager) {
            _numPitcher = 0;
            _numBatter = 0;
            _manager = manager;
            team = new ArrayList<>();
        }
     
        public String getManager() {
            return _manager;
        }
     
        public int getPitchers() {
            return _numPitcher;
        }
     
        public int getBatters() {
            return _numBatter;
        }
     
        public int getNumPlayers() {
            return _numPitcher + _numBatter;
        }
     
        public Player getPlayerName(Player name) {
            Player temp = name;
            if (team.contains(name)){
                return temp;
            }
            else {
                return null;
            }
        }
     
        public void setPlayer(Player player) {
            team.add(player);
        }
     
        public void setDelete(Player player) {
            team.remove(player);
        }
     
        public void setManager(String manager) {
            _manager = manager;
        }
     
        public double teamBattingAvg(int totalHits, 
        		int totalBats) {
            if (totalBats == 0) {
                return 0;
            }
            else {
                return (double)(totalHits / totalBats);
            }
        }
     
        public int totalHRS() {
        	int total;
        	for (int i = 0; i < team.size(); i++) {
        		total += team.get(i).getHomeRuns();
        	}
        	return 0;
        }

            return _bats + " " + _hits + " " + _homeRuns 
            		+ "\n";
        }
    }

    main area I am having issues with:

        public int totalHRS() {
        	int total;
        	for (int i = 0; i < team.size(); i++) {
        		total += team.get(i).getHomeRuns();
        	}
        	return 0;
        }
     
        public int teamERA(int runsEarned, int totalInnings) {
            if (totalInnings == 0) {
                return 0;
            }
            else {
                return runsEarned / totalInnings;
            }
        }
     
        public int totalStrikeouts() {
            return 0;
        }
     
        public double totalSalary() {
        	double total = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < team.size(); i++) {
            	total += team.get(i).getSalary();
            }
     
            return total;
        }

    The total salary works awesome but for some reason when I try and call up how many home runs a player has it wont call correctly I get this red line under my code that says: The method getHomeRuns() is undefined for type Player. I am trying to call this from the batter class which is an extension of the Player class... anyway I hope I made sense and thanks in advnace for help

    Aren't you showing an error on this line?:

    team = new ArrayList<>();

    Edit: Then find the method getHomeRuns() and determine if it really is a Player method as you think it is.

    maybe should I have something in there? I did have it like this:

    team = new ArrayList<Player>();

    but netbeans said it was redundant to have the Player in the <>

    --- Update ---

    figured out on my own.
