That's also why you may see some highly rated SS whose batting just doesn't look impressive at all.
I primarily rank players based on batting ability, and I don't worry as much about speed and defense, so I'll often prefer lower overall rated players. I can get a lot of good free agency deals because of this.

I actually found 19 doesnt rate speed and defense as highly in years past. Also i think 19 ratings are much more realistic. There are alot more player in the 55-65 range that would be 80/80 in previous verisons. In reality its extremely hard for players to be recieve 80/80 grades in real life and i appreciate that 19 has been rating players much lower. 70/80 and up should be reserved for only the best of the nest in the game. For example fangraphs top 100 prospect list only has one 70/80 prospect (Ohtani) and only five 65/80 prospects.
