Would there be a lower discrepancy if I had a better scout? Can I trust the OSA ratings?
Also, @ olivertheorem, when you say you look for someone with MLB potential or at least one potential MLB skill, what are you looking for? (I'm very new to this game so not fully up to speed on what to look for in a prospect).
Thanks.

The potential rating in this game aren't static. There is a chance that a player with 3 (2-8 scale) contact potential can become a 5 contact guy once he's older.
As for MLB skills, in later rounds its a good idea to look for players with natural abilities like speed and skills in defense like arm strength, etc.
In later rounds you aren't going to find players who are good at multiple things so its a good idea to choose players who are good at one thing with the hopes that he develops past his original potential ratings in other skills like hitting.
in summary, in later rounds draft for defense and athleticism. Also consider a player's personality.
