So, I just took a look around my minor league system, and found two players with the following "Contact" scouting reports:
"Won't be able to consistently hit top-level pitching. Perhaps a .270 hitter."
"Won't be able to consistently hit top-level pitching. Perhaps a .260 hitter."
So, I think this is an unintentional bug in regards to scouting accuracy. The game runs the guy's stats through the scouting engine, produces his scouting report, and it labels him as "won't be able to consistently hit top-level pitching." And then the second sentence of that report is run through the scouting engine again, to give you a variation on what the scout predicts his batting average to be. While that makes sense, I'm guessing that, at "Very Low" scouting accuracy, it's possible for the game to spit out a number as high as .330 in that situation, which leads to the incongruous scouting report you're seeing.
I'm certain it was not designed this way; I'm going to agree with Charlie and call it an unintended consequence of having Very Low scouting accuracy.
