Also what about old guys like Gonzalez who used to have 20 hitting but no longer do because of aging? Given 20 is a max, its mostly only guys in their peak who will be at exactly 20.

I also see a lot of guys with "Exceptional Curveball" sitting in the FA, while not as many "Unhittable Fastball". I suspect people overlook curveball pitchers more often, so maybe fewer guys hitting their max.

I'm buried in last place so maybe my thinking of having freaks on my team is not a brilliant idea. This is Broken Bat after all, not the comics.

Checking range and arm gives a sense of what the "potential" may be, seeing as those skills don't need development. Lot more names on the list. Figure there are around 7500 active position players, and 5500 active pitchers. Those 32 20 hit guys are 0.4% of the population. Those 8 20 movement guys are like 0.14%. Pretty elite.

Favuz Joined: 02/26/2014 Posts: 637 Oxnard Sunsets IV.3	in my roster i have only one guy with a 20 (in PD), one of the 16 in the entire game. As for pitcher, i have Morgan who have 19 in movement, but 19 is not 20.
