POP UP PROSPECTS

There are hundreds of prospects in minor league baseball. There are dozens of prospect rankings, too. There are player raters and scouting grades that pin a number on a players future tools. But I found myself asking - what is Coby Mayo’s current scouting grade? Is he living up to those expectations? How does he compare to players at the same level of minor league baseball? And how can I find the next Coby Mayo before my league, especially if we are all reading the same daily prospect updates? I decided to build it myself.  I’ve grown familiar with the 20-80 scouting grade scale, so all tools are ranked using that scale. I’m looking for players with above average performance, or 50 grades and up. The System probably won’t produce any 80 grades - there are too many adjustments (discussed below). Here are the TOOLS and statistics that are being used to evaluate each tool. TOOLS: BAT - K%, BB%, K/BB, AVG, BABIP, LD%, FB%, and SwStr% PWR - ISO, LD%, HR/AB, FB%, HR/FB, 2B, and 3B GAP - 2B+3
