I can say from experience that PG grades are not exclusively about the velocity factor for pitchers. There is also the young-tall-and-skinny factor:
15 yr, 6'3", 170 lb, 78 mph - PG grade 8
16 yr, 6'5", 175 lb, 84 mph - PG grade 9
17 yr, 6'5", 200 lb, 91 mph - PG grade 10
If there's one thing PG excels at, it's projection. They see so many players that they are just really good at what they do.

Agreed, it is not about velo "exclusively."

Velo, I suspect, is the base, it acts as the "starting point" upon which, or from which points for things like plus tools (60, hits w power, etc.) are added to or deducted from. And yes, often projection is also factored in as obviously an added bonus of .5 to 1.0. Especially if the scout who authors the write-up states things like, ".......and has immense physical projection remaining."

Yeah, I'd say they factor in projection.
