When i'm looking at a players ratings, for instance it will say hitting and it will say 50, is that 50 out of 100? just seems to me a 50 out of 100 seems like he sucks

There are multiple possible scales...it could also be 20-80.

Although, either way, 50 is typically going to be in the middle of the scale. Since 50 is in the middle I am not sure why you would think that means they "suck". Obviously, it means that stat or rating doesn't make them a superstar, but typically that means they should be a useful major league player.

Here is an Explained article on the 20-80 scale.

another question that i have is with ratings there is a dash for instance 40/50.what does the 2nd number represent? also looking at my pitchers, some are in the color yellow if i remember correctly, what do the diffeent colors mean?

The first number is the current rating, the 2nd number is the potential rating.

The colors are just put in as a way to easier see the quality of the rating at a glance.
