Batting average is alot of luck. Guys that have the raw tools have the highest potential and when skills like patience and understanding of the game take hold they take it to another level. Performance is based off the raw skills it is never stats that make a player better. Where I agree is that velocity and speed should not progress after 22 or 23. They statistically begin to actual start falling off around age 26. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Agreed, but only if the range of success to failure is huge. I want a player reaching their potential to be rare. And I definitely want that tied to how I manage the player as a GM. Like I mentioned before things like how many at-bats I give a player, gaining different secondary (or primary) positions based on where I assign them and also reducing/increasing ratings based on how the player is used (i.e. starter moved to bullpen loses stamina and eventually turns into a RP/CP).
