Tips and Tricks to Drafting in MLB the Show 23. Always NAIL your picks.

- I had a comment in a recent video requesting I drop a scouting and drafting tips and tricks video for MLB the Show 23. I haven't done a video like this before so I apologize if the message is jumbled. But here I walk you through an entire season of scouting and drafting and try and explain everything I try to do to have the successful drafts I've had with this game.
If the video is too long or too confusing, or if you'd just like a refresher, I have my 10 tips right here:
1. Get the cheapest scout that has 85+ Discovery. If you can get 5+ more discovery for just a couple thousand dollars, do it.
2. Get a scout with 90+ efficiency and 90+ POS players. If it doesn’t exist, get the closest you can and try again next year.
3. Get a scout with 90+ efficiency and 90+ Pitchers. If it doesn’t exist, get the closest you can and try again next year.
4. (if you have a top 5-6 pick) Take a look at the top of the class in Week 1 for any telling signs of a generational player. (signs discussed in the video)
5. Whatever a player’s potential rating comes in on their ratings scale, all ratings come in at the same spot in the ratings scale. I.e. if a player has a potential scale of 78-97 and their actual potential is 95 (2 slots lower than their max potential) all their current ratings will be two below their max projection.
6. Due to tip 5, ALWAYS look for a gap in the overall ranges and the potential ranges in the 15-30 range. IE max potential 99 and max OVR 69 for a 30 point gap. This will net you more A potential players.
7. Find the two regions with the most Starting Pitchers in the top 50 rankings and scout that position for 5 weeks each region.
8. Once you find a player with the potential to overall gap (tip 6) you’re comfortable with, click on them to look for skillets that are intriguing. Only scout players that fit tip 6 and have interesting skillsets.
9. If you want to scout a Generational prospect, scout them in FULL. That means scouting to 100% + an additional week. Depending on the level of your scout, that will take 3-4 weeks. If you want an accurate report. The second most accurate is not scouting them at all.
10. When scouting pitchers, look for high velocity, stamina, and break. These ratings are very difficult, if not impossible, to develop in the game.
Hope you enjoyed the video! And feel free to request any other type of video, and if I have the time and desire, I'll probably get it done! - Hry
Best scouting tutorial I've ever seen. Deserves 100x the views and likes. Nice work!
I appreciate it! This game needed a good scouting tutorial
Great video. I've done several drafts and I get so frustrated with garbage drafts 3 out of 4 years, so hopefully these tips will help improve that!
Thanks! Yeah the new scouting system is really good I think, but it's a lot easier to get stuck with bad classes
I love this game. I finally understand the off season. Now I found someone who got some understanding in scouting cause I'm all ways getting bums
Yeah the off-season is very confusing at first haha. Not a very beginner friendly game but once you understand it it’s quite fun.
@@fiendfranchise yea it's a great game can't wait for 24
So your method of scouting is great I tried two other methods but the best result was yours. I got some real God generational players and some decent jc players
@@hiramabiff7778 very nice!
THANKS BRO I NEEDED THIS
Hopefully it helps. Scouting in this game is more complicated than the other games.
ALSO CONGRATS ON 300
Thanks! A big step on the road to 1K.
Great stuff here
Thanks!
Rebuilding is going to be so much better now. Thanks!
Happy to help!
I get so unlucky too, lmao. Had the 6th pick, I scouted 2 generational talents accurately, and the one I was likelier to get was ranked 9th by MLB but taken 5th of course. But it happens 😂
@@liamglass2005 Yeah what the CPU is going to do is so much less predictable in MLB the Show than other games for sure.
so how many weeks do u change the discover scout , is it every two weeks ?
I basically go until they discover 1 or 0 prospects.
Go Birds!
🙌🙌
So a high potential is not a good thing? Trying to understand the point gap. Thx for any help!!
High potential is good for sure, just try to find someone who's overall range is within 15-30 points of that potential, at least in the early rounds. Unless you're fine with long term players. Because the gap between overall and potential in the ranges will be reflected in the player ratings. For example, if a player has 80-99 potential and 55-74 overall, that's a 25 point gap (99-74 or 80-55). So whatever overall he gets, his potential will be 25 points higher (maybe a point or two off depending on scout% and scout talent). You don't get someone that high in their range in one area and low in the other.
@@fiendfranchiseI’ve already seen quite a few 47 overall with 97 potential after the draft
@@jofieji5312 if you like those picks then that’s cool and you can ignore the 15-30 gap. Personally I don’t think those are good picks as it just takes too long for someone in the 40s in overall to develop for it to be a good pick.
Na those picks are definitely worse but I was just saying it doesn’t always seem like a high potential correlates to a higher overall.
@@jofieji5312 yeah I know players like that’ll happen but on his scouting card he probably had a massive gap between the overall and potential, so I wouldn’t have even scouted him
How do you see what region they are from when scouting a group?
It doesn't say it outright. You just have to look at the state/country they are from and from there assign that state/country to what region it belongs to. The borderline ones you just have to guess on. Not a great system.
@@fiendfranchisesounds good thanks. And GO BIRDS
@@Prevision.Gaming GO BIRDS!!
Do you scout CP or RP the same way?
I tend to not put too much scouting into relievers until my team is good. Because I usually scout to nail the first three rounds and I usually will use those picks on position players and starters until I feel like I’m set there.
If you do get to the point where your team is good enough to draft bullpen high, then I would use a similar approach, though I’d put more emphasis on their current overall and less on their potential.
Thanks for much. Very helpful. I need to get better in the late rounds but i definitely like this scouting strategy. @@fiendfranchise
Help me out here... Sometimes it feels like the scouting system is scatterbrained.
I scouted the first second baseman available in the draft, he's MLB ranked as the 23rd prospect. I have the 17th pick with the Orioles.
I've scouted him to 95% and he appears as the No. 9 Team Rank player... I'm looking at his stats and I just don't know what's so great about him that would make him a Top-10 pick.
Please enlighten me:
Age: 18, switch hitting 2B that can also play SS
Potential: 76-92. Overall: 52-68
C vs. R: 42-58 / 61-77
C vs. L: 30-46 / 51-67
P vs. R: 34-50 / 51-67
P vs. L: 23-39 / 42-58
Vis: 29-45 / 50-66
Dis: 31-47 / 49-65
Field: 33-49 / 54-70
Arm Str: 59-75 / 70-86
Arm Acc: 58-74 / 70-86
Reac: 39-55 / 57-73
Speed: 69-85 / 80-96
Steal: 66-82 / 72-88
I'm guessing if he's being rated higher on your team board that means he's likely on the high end of his range, meaning he will have a skill set somewhere around
Low-mid 60s overall with mid-high B potential
low-mid 50s contact R (solid)
Low 40s contact L
Mid 40s power R
Mid 30s power L
Low 40s Vis
Low 40s Disc
Mid 40s Field
Low 70s arm strength (great)
Low 70s arm accuracy (great)
Low 50s reaction (solid)
Low 80s speed (great)
High 70s steal (great)
So basically you're getting a great baserunner with a big arm with decent enough hitting versus righties to start that he could develop into a decent-to-good offensive player. Not great but MLB the Show 23 does love these archetypes.
Also depends on if you used a scout with good position player rating to scout him, I'm assuming you did. Could also just be a weak draft class.
@@fiendfranchise yeah, it’s a very weak position player draft class. I found a 90-95 first baseman with my first scout, but everything else has been duds. I did however use my discovery scout to find me some infielders. One of them was prospected as the 17th best and now is the 12th best. What throws me off is the Team Rank ratings, like how much attention should I be paying to that versus the actual attributes I see when/before scouting?
@@brunomanrique2222 I think team rankings can be valuable after scouting, I usually ignore them before scouting guys, at least in the early rounds. Trust ranges you like over team rankings in the first few rounds, then I use team rankings to hopefully identify some steals late.
@@fiendfranchise that discovery 2B is now the No. 5 Team Rank prospect. Seems too good to be true, but he’s better in most aspects than the guy I was posting about, for the exception of not being a switch hitter. If I end up drafting him, I’ll let you know how he turns out.
@@brunomanrique2222 sweet. I love getting awesome discovery guys.
I'm confused. Braun's potential is 78-97. How do you know he has 95 potential?
You''re going to have to give me a time stamp. This vid is almost a year old and I can't remember who you're talking about.
@@fiendfranchise I'm sorry. 12:44.
@@azbdizzy4176 ah I see. I was saying "if" his potential is 95 to try and explain the importance of the gaps between overall and potential. I had no inkling as to his actual potential.
@@fiendfranchise Thank you.
