What is the OVR rating for pitchers based on?

It seems to be very accurate when rating position players, but when rating pitchers, well...

Here's the pitchers with the highest OVR rating in my recently completed 1986 league. As you can see, OVR doesn't seem to correlate very well with actual performance:

For every Bret Saberhagen on that list there are at least 5 Kimbros or Cowleys

The potential rating is also screwy for pitchers. Take a look at the waiver wire

Why is Bob Patterson a 79 POT given his 51/58/72 potentia?

This is with scouts OFF.

I love the OVR and POT ratings but I'm struggling to understand how they apply to pitchers.
