I don't use OSA ratings, but I do try to get "neutral" or "favor tools" scouts.

I spent a lot of time testing this yesterday, hiring different scouts and reloading my save and I can safely say that none of them rate pitching prospects correctly. Every one of them had highly touted prospects like Tyler Jay, Brady Aiken and Phil Bickford as 2 star potential pitchers.
I can't even use the scouts anymore because it's just annoying me. I sent my scout to watch Roberto Osuna who's 20 in AAA and 10-1 with a 1.95 ERA and he comes back to me and tells me he's terrible.... I did this with multiple scouts and the results ranged from he's terrible to he may be a depth reliever....
Anyone have something they could suggest to get realistic evaluations of pitching talent? I don't want 100% accuracy but at least to the point where I don't just disregard anything the scout says about a pitcher.
