I've seen a post on here before where it gives the range of skill for the different scouting reports, like a prolific slugger will have 18-20 blocks on power. Where do i find this list?
thanks

I don't think there is one, but this is the info I have compiled:

Velocity
18 - 20 -> fastball unhittable
16 - 18 -> strike out pitcher
14 - 16 -> major league fastball
12 - 14 -> have some pop
0 - 12 ---> nothing

Movement
17 - 20 -> curveball/slider exceptional
14 - 17 -> major league curveball/slider
0 - 14 ---> nothing

Stamina
17 - 20 -> throw all day
14 - 17 -> starting pitcher
9 - 14 ---> nothing
0 - 8 -- --> few innings

Control
10 - 20 -> nothing
8 - 10 ---> Control below average
6 - 8 -- --> Lacking
0 - 6 -- --> Wild

Hitting
18 - 20 -> great hitter
15 - 17 -> very good hitter
13 - 15 -> good hitter
7 - 13 ---> nothing
0 - 7 -- --> never be a decent hitter

Power
17 - 20 -> prolific slugger
14 - 17 -> decent slugger
11 - 14 -> above average slugger
0 - 11 ---> nothing

Fielding
17 - 20 -> amazing in the field
15 - 17 -> outstanding in the field
13 - 15 -> solid in the field
9 - 12 ---> nothing
8 - 9 -- --> below average fielder
6 - 7 -- --> poor fielder
0 - 6 -- --> atrocious fielder

Speed
17 - 20 -> really quick
14 - 17 -> decent speed
7 - 13 ---> nothing
0 - 7 -- --> not very fast


Logic would seem to dictate that all of these scales should overlap, so I believe there are a few small holes in this data. If anyone has evidence addressing one of those holes, I'd appreciate a mail.

Also note - you can have up to 14 with no rating in curveball, but only 12 with no rating in fastball. A "major league curveball" caps at 17, while a "major league fastball" caps at 16. The scales are all a little different.

This was compiled by looking at 28-30 year old players who were maxed out per their POT (103 for POT 12, 111 for POT 13, etc.), so I'm very confident its correct. Its just the small holes (like Very good -> great hitting), where I am not 100% on the boundary.

For instance Great Hitting might actually be 17 - 20, I just haven't seen a guy yet that is maxed out and has 17 hitting and isn't scouted as Very Good. Nor have I seen a guy with 18 hitting who is scouted as Very Good. I'm pretty sure there should be an overlap, thus the small holes.

Don't feel like starting a new thread about this, but where does CoS fall into?

CoS is not described in the written scouting. No positive or negative messages.

If the pitcher doesn't have a change up listed among his pitches, it may be a sign his CoS has a low ceiling.

I've seen pitchers without a changeup (or any offspeed pitches) but with 16-18 CoS skill.

Aye. That's why the may is in there.

It's not a hard and fast rule.

But it can give you a hint.

May be worth adding that this works for movement too. A pitcher without a breaking ball (curve, slider) hints at weak movement skill.

Less useful, since movement has positive scouting messages.
