Their listed percentiles are national.  He is kinda young for class also so keep that in mind.

I'm sorry, I feel like 2022NYC.  Lol.

PERCENTILE RANKINGS

CLASS OF 2025 in the recorded year

CATEGORY	TOP RESULT	CLASS AVG	PERCENTILE
FB	84 mph	75 mph	91.82%
60	7.27 sec	7.60 sec	71.78%
10 SPL	1.60 sec	1.76 sec	91.66%
1B	82 mph	73 mph	89.36%

And one more item to note: a grade is given after the conclusion of a showcase (usually within a month or so). That grade won't get updated again regardless of what kind of stud the players develops into. There are plenty of cases where a newly drafted player has a poor grade (or no grade at all) on the PG site!

So, yes, if you received a not-so-hot grade then you will fall into the PG trap of continuously attending showcases! But I don't believe PG gives out grades with this in mind; it's just a common effect. They aren't twisting your arm.

In the case of the numbers listed above above, they would have to apply to only the showcase in question, not the player's cumulative metrics. So if you son happened to throw 90 a week ago his grade won't change.
