What Ratings Can be Taught?

[Blue J Gruber]

Hi I'm new to OOTP. I know hitting and pitching ratings can be developed but are attributes like base running, speed, stealing, range/arm/error/turn double play and holding runners able to develop with time in the minors and good coaching?

I believe everything but the true physical aspects (speed) can change over time. However, some skills are more likely to evolve over time than others. For example, for a pitcher, individual pitch skills and stuff/movement/potential are certain to change. However, things like "hold runners" won't change much over the player's career. Stamina does move somewhat, but you can't stretch a low stamina guy out into a high stamina guy. Most of the "other" ratings don't move much (baserunning, stealing, etc.).
