I’ve always felt the PG rating system is grossly inflated. Every good large high school player I’ve known/known of who is/was a top player has been rated a 9 or better. 9 is potential top ten rounds of the draft. While the key word is potential most of these 9’s were not drafted in the top ten rounds. Some of them weren’t drafted. Some didn’t play D1.

Completely agree. PG did an unbelievable job of convincing amateur baseball that their ratings were meaningful and necessary. They are neither - but every year thousands of people spend thousands of $ chasing rankings (and metrics) because they have been led to believe that’s the stairway to baseball heaven.
