Wanna play in the MLB?

[tysnkole6]

While managing my Diamondbacks, I was reviewing the forums, and decided that I as well would partake in a create a prospect thread, and will open up a new side game as a project. Everyone is doing 5-10 per season, and I will stick with that as well.

I'm using the template from krmarks and GoPedro, and using the ratings from Jer9_1. Facegen will be on as well.

Name:
Nickname: Not necessary, but if you want one
High School or College, and birthday (don't need year, just month and date)
Facial type: African, Asian, East Indian, Caucasian, or Hispanic
Note - college players will have slightly higher current ratings (10%), but have less potential (-2%)
Hometown (can be anywhere in the world):
Uniform Number:
Personality Attribute, pick 1-200 in each of the following, totals equal up to 1100 combined:
Leadership:
Desire for Winner:
Loyalty:
Greed:
Work Ethic:
Intelligence:
Adaptability:
Controversy:
Handle Success:
Handle Failure:
Handle Critics:

Height:
Weight:
Bats :R/L/S
Throws: R/L
Position/Role (if you pick a position player, select a primary, and then a secondary position):


Do you prefer to be a position player or pitcher?
If you choose a position player, then select from the following:


Position Player Options:
Bat Rating Allocations (High School players first, college players second)
Position (Catcher, Corner Infielder/Corner Outfielder, Middle Infielder/Center Fielder)
Ratings are Current/Potential
C - HS (275/575) C (295/560)
CIF/COF - HS (325/650) C (350/625)
MIF/CF - HS (310/625) C (335/610)

Note. If you are a catcher, you are given more defensive ratings inherently
If you choose a middle infielder or CF, he will be given more speed and defensive ratings


Example would be as follows:
College CIF 1B/3B
350/625


BABIP: 100/150
Avoid K's: 80/150
Gap: 50/120
Power: 60/125
Eye/Patience: 40/80


Speed and Defense:

You can select one of the following five:

Exceptional Defensively, but slow
Good defensively, but slower
Good mix of speed and defense
Good speed, but below average defensively
Exceptional speed, but poor defensively





If you select a pitcher:
You get 3 pitches, pick those 3 pitches, one of them MUST be a fastball/sinker/cutter or knuckleball:

Say those three pitches, your choices are:
fastball
sinker
cutter
curveball
slider
changeup
splitter
forkball
circle change
screwball
knucklecurve
knuckleball

Then select a current/potential rating for each pitch that you select, and for movement and control as well:
If you are a high schooler, max potential has to be a combined 775 potential, or, if you are a college pitcher, a combined 725 for a college pitcher, and current ratings for a high schooler are 400 current, and if you are in college, it is 450
