In rare cases, I may actually remove a candidate who hasn't changed over the course of my several scouting trips prior to the draft and I suddenly realize he doesn't look so good to me now as he did when I first took notice of him his first couple weeks in HS play that year. Again, FWIW.

Edit: And depending on my priorities, even if I haven't already shortlisted a player, I do if he makes the leaderboard in certain categories at this level of play at the end of his season, e.g. OBP tends to catch my eye.


How do I access the College and High School feeder leagues in a MLB standard quickstart game?
