Have you ever seen a hitter with pitching ratings?

andjbock · 05-06-2004, 07:04 PM

Just wondering. I wanted to convert a hitter in "A" ball to a pitcher just for gits & shiggles but wanted to know if any rookie generated in OOTP has better ratings than 6 or whatever the standard rating a hitter gets if he were to pitch.

Yes, here's an example:

I have a guy in my solo league who I drafted as a 4 star SS/2B/3B prospect and later noticed he had pitcher talent ratings and I had no good pitching prospects so I moved him there and he is still a 4 star prospect at pitcher. on 2-8 scale his batting talents are 5-5-4-8-6 and his pitching talent ratings are 7-6-7. Nice player in either direction and really made me happy to see it. Happens with a couple guys in every draft in RL (VanBenschoten, Loewen, etc.), so I'm glad it does here, too.

I have a third baseman that I converted to a pitcher. He's doing descent in AA. Pretty cool.

I have a pitcher in AAA who has good batting ratings. He has a 5 infielder arm, so I trained him at 1B. Now he's also a good 1B prospect. Actually his star rating is a 2.5 as 1B and 1.0 as P.
