It's like Grade Inflation, everyone gets at least an 8. Especially if they go and pay for a local PG evaluation. There is way too much project-ability in the grading system, it should be where they are "right now". But then nobody would pay for the grade at 15yo. I'm not sure if any recruiter pays attention to the grades, because there is one question it doesn't answer, "Can they play the game." I do think the grades are for Parents

I mean seriously what does this mean (below)?

8	Potential draft pick and/or excellent college prospect

Son's Hs teammate was graded 8.5 and saw 3-4 non conference innings at a mid DIII freshman. Good kid, good player, hard worker, but he was the furthest thing from a potential draft pick, and college must mean any college. But when grading is a range of 1-10, seems they should re-evaluate the system. A little more bell to the curve.
