I have an example from my sim that I have a question about, so I can make sure I'm understanding it properly.

In that attached images you can see the player on the right side shows a higher potential Eye and Avoid K, and as such has a higher potential of 30. They are nearly identical in terms of tools other than that, plus the player on the left has the better Infield Arm. Now, in this save both players are on the same Carolina league team. The player on the left is hitting .280/.357/.650 with a 145 WRC+ but the player on the right is hitting .194/.282/.282 with a 38 WRC+.

If I had this setting enabled would my scout then adjust those nearly identical potential ratings to skew toward the player on the left since his stats are better? Just want to make sure the interaction here is the same as I assume it may be.... .thanks again!
IIRC, the scouting incorporation is more in the current value than in the potential value. They still see the second player with marginally enough offense, so I'm guessing that's why they have them better overall.

Now, there's always some other issues at play. If the scout favors tools, and they see them hitting better, they might adjust some of their ratings up more. I would guess that at that low a level, it's unlikely to make that much of a difference in the projections.
