At the start of every baseball career, teams make decisions based on incomplete information, emphasizing attributes over raw statistics. Amateur player potential is difficult to assess, as players often produce misleading statistics against less skilled opponents. Drafting focuses less on statistical performance and more on unique qualities that might not conform to standard expectations. Teams increasingly understand that evaluating a player's potential extends beyond simple metrics. A career in baseball accumulates evidence and unfolds narratives that culminate in various outcomes, highlighting both successful and unsuccessful attempts at reaching Major League status.
At the beginning of every baseball career, everyone is pretty much guessing. The work amounts to generating enough information that can be evaluated in the end.
Teams drafting or signing amateur players do so based on incomplete information. The statistics don’t really mean very much for potential Major Leaguers.
