MLB The Show 16 Player Ratings - Top Players at Each Position

Greg Stanton? Or Giancarlo Stanton?

Yeah, Madison Bumbarner is another typo.



Anyone else notice that DISC isn't on these radial graphs? Did they run out of room and decide to exclude that attribute from the graph? Couldn't they have made the slices a little thinner to fit in one more attribute?

Good to see Longo in the top 10 for 3B.

I personally think Adam Wainwright is under-rated. (yes I am biased but I still believe it)

2nd in Cy Young voting in 2013. 3rd in 2014.

They said that they would throw out injured years but even if they did not throw out his 2015 then he still had a 1.61 ERA in his four starts.

Seriously, just looking ahead of him, how is Dallas Keuchel's last three years of stats average out better than Wainwrights? They have to be taking off points for Wainwrights age or bumping Keuchel for his Cy Young Award, otherwise it doesn't make any sense to me. Wainwright outperformed him in every category in 2014. Wainwright far outperformed him in 2013 as Dallas had a pretty bad year that year, which they say accounts for 1/3 of his rating.

And I am not bagging on Keuchel at all just making a case that Wainwright is underrated.

Sooooo Corey Seager just got his cherry popped and is the same as Simmons?? hmmm ok. Also, apparently being made of glass is the way to be the top SS....Correa and Crawford should be the top 2. Tulo's durability better be a 24.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Player Ratings - Top Players at Each Position

I do still wish they would scale the ratings more so we could see the extremes. Up the 99 rated pitch velocity to top out at 104 (an not just when you throw high fastballs) and have the slowest fastball in the MLB be 0.

Has anyone timed different run speed ratings from home to first? I'd be curious as to how the current (MLB 15) ratings translate to in game speed. The difference between a 99 and 0 should be basically this http://m.mlb.com/news/article/165096...speed-rankings

Top tier guys like Burns, Gordon and Hamilton at 3.9s (98-99 rated) and the low tier guys like Pujols and Ramos at 4.9s (0-1 rated). It might look weird to see Pujols with a 0 speed rating, but that is how I'd like to see the ratings. The top guy in that rating is a 99 and the lowest is a 0. This is a poor example due to handedness (right handed hitters are always slower to first), but you get the point. I want the slowest guy in the league a 0 and the fastest 99.

Crawford is pretty low to me after last season. His glove has been great Since he came into the league. His bat finally caught up. Hitting 21 home runs while playing at AT&T is impressive especially for a shortstop.

The peripheral numbers show that his offensive numbers were pretty fluky last season. That's why you saw his batting average plummet in the second half when his BABIP finally normalized.

Kind of seems like ratings are a bit too high for a number of guys, especially Corey Seager. I know we shouldn't get caught up to much into the OVR but that number also has a hand in determining where players max out so when there isn't that much room to grow for them...

Well yeah considering he had the 21st best era in the majors. Around 18th seems about right...

That's what I am saying, some other determination went into the ratings other than just the average of 3 years worth of stats. If I had to guess they are trying to project regression and docked Wainwright a few points for age.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Player Ratings - Top Players at Each Position

In the past I don't think they weighted all 3 years evenly. The previous season was like 50% and then 25, 25 or something like that. It explains why someone like Arrieta and Keuchel are rated so much higher than a Wainwright. I'm not sure if they are still doing it that way though.

They said this year that the past three years were weight evenly this year. They also said that they would throw out years out where someone was obviously injured.


I am not making that big of deal out of it because Wainwright's rating is still good but it confuses me when his past 3 year stats are equal or better than those pitchers ranked higher. .

Re: MLB The Show 16 Player Ratings - Top Players at Each Position

The past 3 years thing is kind of stupid. AJ Pollock was much better last season than McCutchen and is expected to put up the same numbers this season. David Peralta should undoubtedly be a top 10 LF/RF. He only led the NL in triples while hitting over .300 and driving in nearly 80 runs, and had a near .900 OPS. He also had a very solid rookie season, so it is not the first year he's done well.

I understand why they do it though, it is so that one anomalous season, good or bad, does not skew a players rating too much.
