Hope this is helpful:

My understanding of incorporating stats into scouting reports is it "converts" the rating your scout finds on that player into a prediction for what their potential is capable of. For example, with the stats in scouting reports engaged, an 18 year old 1B with 7 power on a 2-8 scale would have language in the scouting report saying "1B could hit 45 home runs in the major leagues one day." A 30yr SS free agent you are looking to sign might include his contact rating in the language of the scouting report as "SS will probably bat around .280."

I do not believe this changes how your players are deployed by AI in your team. Your coaches value ratings will influence how they set the lineup, and engaging this setting will not make the coach incorporate the players previous/current stats into how he does this. The setting simply includes a stat prediction when your scout evaluates players.

Hope this is right.
