Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now
Man the rosters are just great! Kudos to everyone involved.
Does anyone know how the OSFM creators choose the ratings for the minor leaguers, and if so could someone help me adjust a prospects ratings based on their scouting report? I wanted to edit one of the Giants, Steven Duggar, who pretty much everyone in the SF media has been saying will be the starting CF at some point this year. I found his 20/80 scale ratings, but I wasn't sure how to extrapolate that into the OSFM ratings. He's a big time speed (but not a great base stealer) and excellent defender, but OSFM really gave him pretty poor defensive numbers, so I wanted to try and boost them to something more realistic since by all accounts his defense is MLB ready for CF (though his bat may not be). Honestly, I have no idea how to extrapolate the 20/80 scale into MLB the Show ratings, that's why I wanted to see if anyone had any insight.
Thank you for any insight anyone can give.
Here's what the MLB website has his 20/80 grades and what they said about him:
Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 40 | Run: 65 | Arm: 60 | Field: 60 | Overall: 50
Duggar confounded scouts while at Clemson, showing some of the best all-around tools in college baseball but posting just so-so numbers. As a result, he slid to the sixth round of the 2015 Draft, and the Giants have done a nice job of helping unlock his potential in pro ball. He has performed consistently well, reaching Triple-A last year despite losing much of the season to forearm and hamstring injuries.
The biggest change San Francisco made with Duggar was adjusting the angle of his barrel so it didn't point as much toward the ground, giving him a more level and longer left-handed swing and helping him get a better look at pitches. He now makes a higher quality of contact and hasn't sacrificed his control of the strike zone. While he hit just eight home runs in three college seasons and won't ever be a slugger, he's driving the ball more often and should produce double-digit homers on an annual basis.
Duggar can post plus-plus running times but his speed doesn't play that well on the bases. He succeeded on just 62 percent of his steal attempts in his first three pro seasons and needs to be more aggressive. Clemson used him mainly in right field, in part because of his strong arm, but he has taken well to center field as a pro and is the Giants' best long-term option there.
