My assessment of pitcher's and hitter's abilities are always determined from numerical statistical analysis.

I have experimented with all of the scales, and do look at the written reports as well. I have come to one conclusion....if you are going to use ratings, you may as well use 20-80. I realize the argument about 2-8 being more ambiguous, but in reality, the 20-80 matches up with the text anyway. So using 2-8 and a players contact is "5"...yet the commentary says" His contact is slightly above average"....you can bet your bottom dollar the rating on the 20-80 scale is a 55 anyway. So really, the best you can do without giving anything a way and allowing the text to match the rating scale is 20-80.
