Thought it might be interesting to go back and look at the scouting reports for a few players.
Guess who this pitcher was.
Following a 13-9 season and 3.19 ERA at the class A level a scout wrote this:
In AAA he got this evaluation
During his rookie season in which he posted a 5.61 ERA.
Same scout the following year
But it's interesting to see what changed from the year before._____________'s fastball had matured to a 6 rating ("above average") his control gone from "well below average" to "average," and his changeup improved from "below average" to "above average," all in the span of 12 months.

Small: good arm: ran out of gas: "Did not pitch good last 1/3 of season." And, fatally, in the notes column on the far right, Dyer declared that Maddux didn't have the arm strength to be a starter.
but early in his career he was hitting mid-90s with his fastball
In AAA he got this evaluation
Could be decent 5th starter for someone
During his rookie season in which he posted a 5.61 ERA.
Strong arm with good stuff. "in over his head" "needs one more year"Like his chances
Same scout the following year

in 1986 he was chosen for the Triple-A American Association’s top 10. He was No. 6, behind Ruben Sierra, Barry Larkin, Dave Martinez, Daryl Boston and Joe Magrane.
