Thank you.

I thought raw power only was graded and power frequency was considered a secondary tool. I've seen in some articles scouts when talking about power say,"can he turn that power into game power production?"

For pitching, if command and movement aren't factored into the summation, then what is? What more is there to grade in a pitch, except maybe deception?

I'm curious about player development too. When reading scouting reports on MLB's draft pages, the top rounders usually have "good" or "great" hitting and power ability. So then why do they get thrown in the minors first? I figured that since they have average or better hitting ability and production, wouldn't that mean that they could hit better than your average MLBer right now?
