I haven't seen this mentioned specifically in this thread, but it also important to understand that the scale you are viewing is broken down to a 550 point scale under the hood. Also, the way that under the hood rating is translated into the visible rating at the MLB level is like looking at the right side of a normal distribution curve.
All of that to say, basically, the lower a player is on the rating scale the harder it is to show visible improvement because those ratings cover more of the under the hood scale.
I did a quick test under the hood with a rating that has an MLB league average of 400.
Here is what each of the under the hood ratings (I tested by 5's) translated to on the 20-80 scale.
20: 000 - 035 (Range = 35)
25: 040 - 105 (Range = 65)
30: 110 - 180 (Range = 70)
35: 185 - 250 (Range = 65)
40: 255 - 315 (Range = 60)
45: 320 - 370 (Range = 50)
50: 375 - 410 (Range = 35)
55: 415 - 430 (Range = 15)
60: 435 - 450 (Range = 15)
65: 455 - 470 (Range = 15)
70: 475 - 490 (Range = 15)
75: 495 - 505 (Range = 10)
80: 510 - 520 (Range = 10)
85: 525 - 530 (Range = 5)
90: 535 - 540 (Range = 5)
95: 545 - 550 (Range = 5)
So, someone lower on the scale could easily jump 40-50 points under the hood without their visible rating improving.
