The two ratings interact with each other.

There's a strategy element involved here too, particularly with your High Speed/Low Steal example. One should naturally be less inclined to steal with a lower rated Base Stealing player, regardless of his ability to generate a lead/jump. And as noted above, the P's hold rating and Cs arm influence the numbers/results as well.
