Is his SS rating set in stone and can his 3B rating increase?
I know he can be trained at 1B and 2B. |
So the answer you seek is yes and yes. I don't know his Height stat in the game so I cannot input that for you into the calculator. But he can be trained at 3B, 1B, and 2B. His SS is maxed.
When they input default starting position values the max is 200 starting experience or 100% of their max. Cecil starts 100% maxed at SS and 170/200 (85%) at 3B. His default rating is that 61 rating you posted at 3B. His max 3B is really 72. Shown below.
Although he is a SS by default, he is actually a better 2B defensively or even 3B. The 1B rating is not accurate as their defense rating is primarily affected by Height which I don't have portrayed accurately (idk his 1B rating as a result). SS is heavy on IF range compared to other positions (which is why he makes a better 2B).
In short, he maxes at 83 for a 2B but will take some time to train there, which is done by just playing him. 3B is also better suited than SS for him. I need his height for 1B rating to be correct. When picking defensive IFs I focus on IF range ratings for both SS and 2B. 2B rating is majorly dictated by IF error but IF range also plays a heavy role. Turn DP is good for these positions too. 1B is primarily based on Height, and 3B is based on IF Arm. All raw fielding stats matter in the end for each position but they are weighted differently as expected.
I hope that kind of clears it up for ya. They are nice tools to have when deciding who to train where and how long it may take.
