The scouting reports are essentially Mad Libs where different snippets are assigned to each player based on contact/power/eye and so on. I’m not sure that any of them have stat boxes loaded in - I’d have to look at that - but I think what this box is referring to is every now and then you’ll get a report saying “X is capable of hitting .280” or “Y has 25 HR power”. I *think* those numbers are based on the game looking at your LTMs and figuring out if a guy is, like, able to hit 20 points higher than the league average or whatever, although I could be wrong and those might just be more Mad Libs.
As an aside, that file - English.xml - is waaay too large to work with all by itself in proper XML editors, which is really too bad. I tried adding in reports last year using VSCode but it’s too hard to notice malformed report segments (I had one in there that was causing a crash when it was assigned to a player and you tried to open their scouting report) and was a bit of a PITA to edit in the first place. The devs splitting that file out would be a godsend…
