Reply to ""eyes of a pro scout""

I wonder if we are going to see a slight roll back towards more scouting.

Probably not as much as in the old days but I think some teams might have reduced their scouting too much and relied too much on raw data.

I listened to a podcast with Keith law and he said the astros essentially stopped pro scouting and two years ago everyone raved how they were light-years ahead of everyone in player dev and scouting but now their farm system is pretty weak.

Obviously a lot of this is graduations and trades but they also might have overdone the just rely on raw data and reduce scouting and instead a mix of data and scouting might be best.
