How do players improve defensively? Do they all improve at the same rate or is there no change at all?
I can see how speed, range, arm might be set and not improve, but what about Error rate or infield double play rate?
I read Position rating grows as the player plays that position more and more. does it grow the same for all players?
I'm curious is to other ratings such as stealing, baserunning, bunting which I could see players improving but have no potential rating.
thank you for any info available

I think error and double play ratings also do not improve. Position rating does grow as they improve, and eventually it is subject to regular random rating changes (so it could rise, fall, etc.). Stealing, baserunning, and bunting as far as I know do not change, but speed can. I do think that it would be nice for all of those to have some variation (it is conceivable that a player would get better and better at, say, bunting the more they play). As a random side comment related to these ratings, I personally don't really like how fielding performance is pretty much only based off of the actual rating at the position. Take Ehire Adrianza, for example. He has great fielding ratings across the board, and a great rating at shortstop. However, when I played him at second base for half a year, even though it should be an easy transition and he should still play well, just because he didn't yet have a rating at second base, he was a terrible fielder. Overall, this means that it is hard to do something like moving a shortstop to second base, like a team might do in real life (and did, in the case of Ehire Adrianza and the Giants).
