Not really wanting a password just know i would be biased when giving abilities etc.
So I want to know,what do YOU think his stat should be?

Here's a small scouting report.

The delivery looks like a sidearm motion, so something with a kind of high leg kick.

I personally would go with a slurve (rating 3) change (rating 2) 2SFB (rating 1), battler (bulldog mentality).

The only thing regardless of how his change is rated his pitches should be rated in order of curve/fastball/slider/change when rating them. Some scouting reports need to be taken with a grain of salt too.

Rob: You're right. Another scouting report says "power curve with a true curveball break" and "late movement on fastball".

Perhaps 95 mph top speed, E control, B stamina, KNCB 4 (to resemble the CB break with extra speed), CHG 3, Battler, Fastball Life 4, and Consistency 2 (CB occasionally flattens out, sometimes great changeup, etc.)

Agree.... But I also think our posts make a very good point of how scouting reports can be viewed and how you can tweak the pitches and ratings you choose to resemble a real life pitcher. The bad thing about scouting reports is they tell you what their classification of the pitch is but it could be something entirely different. A good example is a change that may resemble a 2SFB in movement, be 12mph slower than the fastball but be called a change. However in terms of movement and speed differential, in the game that change could basically be a h-sinker. Or if the change had more vertical drop it could be a vertical slider. Or to call a spade a spade you could just make it a changeup.

Yeah, and different scouting reports may say different things (fictional example: one says his best pitch is a slider, the other doesn't mention a slider or anything similar)

Not to mention the fact that you have to adjust stats for younger players, so they have to develop some.
