It's not a "rating," per se. According to the game, the number is the number of passed balls the catcher will average over the course of 162 games. Therefore, if your catcher has PB: 4, he will average 4 passed balls per MLB-standard season.

According to the game.

What the other gentlemen in the thread are saying is that they feel the PB: X is indeed a rating, with lower still being better. A PB: 0 catcher won't go his whole career without a passed ball, but he will only have a couple a season. On the other hand, a PB: 4 catcher is (apparently; I don't want to put words in their mouths) likely to have a passed ball total approaching 20 per season.
