And yes, I understand totally that scouts miss, guys flame out, not every prospect works out, and MLB is full of average players and generational players should absolutely be the exception. I welcome the fog of war.
I appreciate all of the feedback. Agree to disagree and all that. But if I can't see a difference in some of the developmental choices I make, it's hard to just take someone's word for it.

Many other things influence development. The focus is more on what players are working on during batting practice, which, if you ask any pro baseball player about baseball practice, there isn't much of it, so the effect should be subtle...
The labs are programs held during the offseason, so bigger changes can happen.
The focus is a nudge in a certain direction for development and a preventive aid for declining players in certain areas.
