HITTING GRADES ARE BASED ON SEEING A HITTER IN A GAME AGAINST LIVE PITCHING, NEARLY ALL AMATEUR PLAYERS AT THE COLLEGE AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL ARE (20) HITTERS, WHICH MEANS THEY WOULD HIT LESS THAN .200 AGAINST MAJOR LEAGUE COMPETITION. THEREFORE, WE WATCH HITTERS IN BATTING PRACTICE BUT DO NOT GRADE THERE OVERALL HITTING JUST THEIR RAW POWER. ALL PLAYERS HAD BELOW AVG RAW POWER.
