The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 22

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 22

Hey Cy, I want to clarify something about the draft prospect ratings calculator. After we enter the OVR and POT (also Position, Type of Hitter for position players/Best per 9 attribute for pitchers), I understand that we update Age and then the new ratings. At the end of the new ratings is a new POT. Are we supposed to then change the POT "in game?" That's a bummer if so, because my 90 potential prospect drops to an 80!!! Please clarify, I want to get this right.

Unfortunately yes, you're 90 potential does turn into an 80, so could develop into a good #2/#3 starter

My 1st round pick, 96 POT, dropped to a 90. My inclination is to leave them all alone then. I’m guessing that the problem with that is we would end up with too many high 90s players, but on the other hand we won’t have any, right? I guess I’m seeing if you can convince me it is worth doing.

The potential attribute is very sensitive for pitchers. You'll end up seeing too many 90+ players, yes.

If you're fine with that, you can leave them. Potential system just won't match with the original roster.

The potential attribute is very sensitive for pitchers.

When you say the potential attribute for pitchers is very sensitive, do you mean that it can change really easily based on their performance?

I mean that pitchers tend to progress to whatever the potential rating is, regardless of performance, more often than not

For all the roster creators.. Just a quick note that Statcast has finally produced and published arm strength data for all positions.

Finally! Looks like Christmas came early this year.

Now time to crunch numbers and see how well the old method holds up compared to the Statcast data (probably some good, some less so since the old method was largely position dependent).

Well,with all the great work that you do with these rosters they are probably pretty close. The Statcast report does show the average for each position, so the big question is how you distribute the ratings around the average and what the average rating is for each position. i.e. the avg arm rating for a ss should be higher than a second baseman all things being equal.

This is absolutely awesome news! Nice that it goes back to 2020 as well

Are you talking about the tool I made to edit drafted players?

No. If I remember correctly, in years past you had a tool for us to plug in players real life stats that would give us rating for The Show.

Re: The TrueSim Roster Project: MLB 22

Cy Do you have ratings updated for position players? I was looking for Michael Harris II.
