Each block in the potential represents 8 SI. Rounded down. So a guy like Pierce with 15 blocks of potential is expected to reach 120-127 SI.

Pierce tho, probably isn't going to fully reach his potential. He seems fairly experienced - has already pitched over 600 innings. His last 200 IP have only resulted in a gain of 1 SI.

He may continue to add a point here or there, but he's mostly a finished product IMO. And a very good one, even if he doesn't completely fill the potential bar.

He won't reach his potential.

I am with Seca, thinking he may gain a couple more points, but I think he is getting close to his max potential now.

I'm sorry I didn't know about this so I got questions. 8x15=120. Where does the 127 come from?

Is it because his actual potential is unkown?

If that is the case at his age maybe he is a 14 pot or maybe he is a 16 pot meaning the actual range of his SI would 112 to 128? Given his SI is 114 we know he is at least a 15 making the range 120 to 128 if he reaches full potential?

I think it's more like 8.333333333 x 15 to get the average number. It can go up or down from there, but I think that's a good rough gauge.

Jayman I think 120 is the lowest range for 15, and 127 would be highest range of a 15 pot, and 128 would be a 16 pot low range

Softshoe has it correct.

You guys don't think he can get 6 points in 2 1/2 years? I haven't been playing enough to know how the slowdown/experience thing goes. Seca keeps track of the numbers so I'd go with his assessment.

Yes Rock, especially with pitchers the slowdown in growth after two seasons of 100+ innings is to virtually no more training, and no more experience related skills gained at all. I'd submit any of my pitchers to prove that. Hutchinson (on my staff) continued growing for 5 seasons due to his only periodic use for an inning here and there as he was developing. For a guy who gets heavy usage from his rookie season through his third year what you see is what you have.
