Agreed that the degree of change should depend upon the prospect's age and experience. That 16-year-old international prospect who has 75/75/50 potential has less than a 10% chance of playing a single MLB game. But the 23-year-old guy out of an SEC program who was MVP of a Summer wooden bat league should be more like 75% - still not a sure thing.
For pitching prospects, it's different (in IRL and in OOTP). Injuries play a huge part. Yes, a 100-mile per hour fastball is real, if the guy can control it. But that's tremendous torque on a young arm. A high school guy throwing that hard has a 1% chance of being the next Nolan Ryan.

Does this mean you set TCR to 185 after the patch a week ago and didn't think it was weird?
