I thought the question was broader in the sense of how the game engine looks at the differences (if any) between fielding ability in AAA and fielding ability in the major leagues. I have wondered about this. In theory, fielding a ground ball, OF range, turning a DP should not be materially different, no matter the level. It’s the same skill set. Or does IF range drop off, because the balls are (on average) hit harder? In my experience, a good defensive player in the minors is a good defensive player in the majors, even if that guy can’t hit a lick in the majors. Raw speed should be the same thing. Fast is fast. However, a good SB record in the minors could suffer, with MLB catchers who can throw, MLB pitchers who can hold and pick off runners. The OOTP base running skill should hold up though, and that has been my experience. AS they say, you can’t teach speed.
