Someone correct my chart if it's wrong, but here's what I've been able to make out for POT ---> SI: 10 POT (80–87) 11 POT (88–95) 12 POT (96–103) 13 POT (104–111) 14 POT (112–119) 15 POT (120–127) 16 POT (128–135) There's apparently a range of SIs for each potential. If the player develops fully (which is never a guarantee), their SIs should fall somewhere in the range for their associated potential. So a 10 potential player with 80 SI is in that range. There's a chance that's as many SI he'll have, but he could have more in him. It seems most knowledgeable managers who are "prospecting" will use a number in the middle of that range for doing their own math on projectability. Age is important too. A 30-year-old 80 SI player with a potential of 10 isn't going to gain more SI. Updated Monday, August 15 2016 @ 10:25:32 am PDT |

calebapple Joined: 07/14/2015 Posts: 20 Inactive | Thanks both of you. As soon as I wrote this status I realized that 10 potential could mean up to 87 SI, as opposed to 80. Basically the formula is (potential * 8) +7 is the maximum SI that a player can have. Rock, that's really interesting about how pitcher's SI's aren't just al their stats added up. I didn't know that, so thank you. |
