I tend to draft/sign SP with stuff over 55 and with control and movement, I like to see over 50 (I’ll take lower control if the stuff is high), plus three non-change up pitches. It seems like I get serviceable guys, but rarely anything approaching a 1 or 2 starter. Good defense at catcher, SS, and CF seems to make lesser starters have good seasons, at least.
As a follow up to my .400 hitter story from above, he fell back to Earth and has hit a more reasonable .360ish the past few years, but two years after he did it, an OF for the Angels hit in the .420s. I’m in the mid-2040s now and am enjoying all the new “history” that has been made.

Also focus on guys with personality comments that mention intelligence. Once they hit 40ish OPF (20-80 scale) get them up for spring training as a non roster invite if they're not on your 40 man. It seems to slightly speed up development and give you a better scouting report.
