So your method of scouting is great I tried two other methods but the best result was yours. I got some real God generational players and some decent jc players
I get so unlucky too, lmao. Had the 6th pick, I scouted 2 generational talents accurately, and the one I was likelier to get was ranked 9th by MLB but taken 5th of course. But it happens 😂
Help me out here... Sometimes it feels like the scouting system is scatterbrained. I scouted the first second baseman available in the draft, he's MLB ranked as the 23rd prospect. I have the 17th pick with the Orioles. I've scouted him to 95% and he appears as the No. 9 Team Rank player... I'm looking at his stats and I just don't know what's so great about him that would make him a Top-10 pick. Please enlighten me: Age: 18, switch hitting 2B that can also play SS Potential: 76-92. Overall: 52-68 C vs. R: 42-58 / 61-77 C vs. L: 30-46 / 51-67 P vs. R: 34-50 / 51-67 P vs. L: 23-39 / 42-58 Vis: 29-45 / 50-66 Dis: 31-47 / 49-65 Field: 33-49 / 54-70 Arm Str: 59-75 / 70-86 Arm Acc: 58-74 / 70-86 Reac: 39-55 / 57-73 Speed: 69-85 / 80-96 Steal: 66-82 / 72-88
I'm guessing if he's being rated higher on your team board that means he's likely on the high end of his range, meaning he will have a skill set somewhere around Low-mid 60s overall with mid-high B potential low-mid 50s contact R (solid) Low 40s contact L Mid 40s power R Mid 30s power L Low 40s Vis Low 40s Disc Mid 40s Field Low 70s arm strength (great) Low 70s arm accuracy (great) Low 50s reaction (solid) Low 80s speed (great) High 70s steal (great) So basically you're getting a great baserunner with a big arm with decent enough hitting versus righties to start that he could develop into a decent-to-good offensive player. Not great but MLB the Show 23 does love these archetypes. Also depends on if you used a scout with good position player rating to scout him, I'm assuming you did. Could also just be a weak draft class.
@@fiendfranchise yeah, it’s a very weak position player draft class. I found a 90-95 first baseman with my first scout, but everything else has been duds. I did however use my discovery scout to find me some infielders. One of them was prospected as the 17th best and now is the 12th best. What throws me off is the Team Rank ratings, like how much attention should I be paying to that versus the actual attributes I see when/before scouting?
@@brunomanrique2222 I think team rankings can be valuable after scouting, I usually ignore them before scouting guys, at least in the early rounds. Trust ranges you like over team rankings in the first few rounds, then I use team rankings to hopefully identify some steals late.
@@fiendfranchise that discovery 2B is now the No. 5 Team Rank prospect. Seems too good to be true, but he’s better in most aspects than the guy I was posting about, for the exception of not being a switch hitter. If I end up drafting him, I’ll let you know how he turns out.
High potential is good for sure, just try to find someone who's overall range is within 15-30 points of that potential, at least in the early rounds. Unless you're fine with long term players. Because the gap between overall and potential in the ranges will be reflected in the player ratings. For example, if a player has 80-99 potential and 55-74 overall, that's a 25 point gap (99-74 or 80-55). So whatever overall he gets, his potential will be 25 points higher (maybe a point or two off depending on scout% and scout talent). You don't get someone that high in their range in one area and low in the other.
@@jofieji5312 if you like those picks then that’s cool and you can ignore the 15-30 gap. Personally I don’t think those are good picks as it just takes too long for someone in the 40s in overall to develop for it to be a good pick.
@@jofieji5312 yeah I know players like that’ll happen but on his scouting card he probably had a massive gap between the overall and potential, so I wouldn’t have even scouted him
I tend to not put too much scouting into relievers until my team is good. Because I usually scout to nail the first three rounds and I usually will use those picks on position players and starters until I feel like I’m set there. If you do get to the point where your team is good enough to draft bullpen high, then I would use a similar approach, though I’d put more emphasis on their current overall and less on their potential.
@@azbdizzy4176 ah I see. I was saying "if" his potential is 95 to try and explain the importance of the gaps between overall and potential. I had no inkling as to his actual potential.
It doesn't say it outright. You just have to look at the state/country they are from and from there assign that state/country to what region it belongs to. The borderline ones you just have to guess on. Not a great system.
