It's fun to look at top ranked prospects in the game because some of them are absurdly good, but having a low rating does not mean a player is bad. It's more of a judgement call.

Probably a bit high given his poor control, but he looks pretty nice other than that. 14 POT is really good for a pitcher, but control is pretty important. ETA:2035 -> The computer is making a SWAG that this player will be ready for the majors in 2035. This can be off by a couple years in either direction. Updated Wednesday, May 4 2016 @ 2:26:07 pm PDT
