Hi everyone! I started a historical save with the Padres in 1994, and I have a question about the pitching ratings that seem to be weird. Maybe it has been discussed in the past, sorry in advance if this isn't new.

Here's Andy Ashby which is rated 3 stars.



And here's Doug Brocail, rated 2.5 stars.



You will quickly notice that there's a huge difference in their ratings, and Doug Brocail looks like a bad pitcher at the first glance. So why is he evaluated 2.5 stars by the same scout that evaluates Ashby 3 stars?

Brocail has 6 pitches in his repertoire, could this be the reason ?

Any explanation is welcome.

Thanks !
