I rescouted him going into age 21 season he’s in double AA to start this season he has been in R,A,A+ so far hasn’t hit very well career .215 hitter. But his potential is still 4.5 stars contact power eye all in the 35/60 fielding is off the charts at 4 positions 70/80 range. Still a half star current. Been a top 5 prospect from age 16 to 21. Currently 3. Wondering if I will ever see him take off or trade him while everyone is high on him. Maybe just a late bloomer we shall see. He has moved slower through the minors than some other prospects

Have you had him re-scouted? I've seen guys fail to reach their potential. This happens all the time. The potential drops - eventually to the level of the Current rating. I have never seen what OP is reporting: no change in high Potential or low Current rating over five years. Feels like something is broken.
