The result? He slashed .303/.380/.529 with 26 HRs and a 2.8 WAR over 139 games. That’s an OPS over .900 from a player with literally no current ability.
Why? Because the minor league engine clearly uses potential in combination with current ratings to simulate performance. That completely undermines any evaluation you might try to do using stats alone. If I were a “stats only” player, I’d look at this and assume he’s Major League ready. He’s absolutely not.
This isn’t just flawed, it’s actively misleading. Minor league performance should reflect current ability. Potential should only matter for development and scouting. But instead, you get fantasy output based on what the player might be someday.
Until that changes, don’t trust the numbers. They’re junk.

Does your minor league use autocalc or lock League total stats? I'm curious how either setting would impact the behavior
