Not new to the game, but something that has always confused me a bit ..

This is a game with Scouts ON..

Say I have a pitcher whose ratings (according to my scout) are (actual/potential)

6/6 (Stuff)
6/6 (Movement)
8/8 (Control)

All of his pitches are fully developed ratings-wise as well.

Yet, his Overall star rating is 2.5 stars. His potential star rating is 4 stars.

Why the discrepancy, if he is fully developed, ratings wise, in my scouts eyes?

Is star rating more an "actual" look at the player's skills and perhaps this would indicate some scouting inaccuracy from my scout, who says my guy is fully developed? I would have assumed the star rating was my scout's too, so it has me confused ...
