I'm scouting players for an upcoming fictional league draft. Any advice or input on which ratings develop more quickly in prospects? Tidbits of knowledge or draft strategy you use? And yes, I do realize there are a lot of other factors, like coaching and personality, that affect development.

For example, I read somewhere that for HS pitchers, many times their Stuff is on the lower end but it increases as the grow older. Thus, don't necessarily ignore HS pitchers with good movement and a low Stuff rating.

For batters - Contact or Power? For pitchers - Stuff or Movement?
