Maybe that's why he projects as the 5th prospect- which would be the lowest rating of any site anywhere
1Bb. How is his strikeout number the same as Baez's?
1C. And the same as Soler's? That doesn't seem right at all.
2. Does pitch framing not help a catcher's rating? If Montero for example has the 2nd best pitch framing in baseball last year, his ability is only at 65?

1. You must have scouting on, or a compressed rating scale. Bryant, Baez and Soler's K ratings are actually quite different. Baez's the worst by a ways, then Bryant and Soler's are the best.
2. It actually makes up 75% of the ability rating. We manually incorporated framing into the catcher ability ratings in the set for this year. The source we used had Montero a bit below 2nd, maybe 7th or 8th, but it does seem like his rating might be a bit low. Any thoughts on that Howard?
