I’ve tried to load my minors with all 70+ makeup guys since this is the first year taking over my franchise. Also, does makeup or projected makeup matter more?

Edit was spelling error.

If current makeup is above 85 and each player is less than 3 years pro, they will have a better shot, but make up isn't the end all. If a guy has 99 makeup, but he is a pitcher with 15 control, 12 L split, and 13 R split, he will probably still only be a AA or AAA player. Current makeup determines the initial bump. I would not pay too much attention to projected makeup unless you are drafting him with a lower ( as in higher overall numerical inexpensive) draft pick or signing him in INTL with a minimum bonus.

I would much rather have a player that has projected splits, contact, control, eye in the low 60s with low 60s makeup than have a guy with projected splits, control, contact, eye in the 40s with higher makeup. It's just that high makeup guys are usually found low in the draft, on the free agent list, tryout camp. It is easy to fill approximately 30 minor league roster spots with high makeup guys than it is to wheel and deal for a guy that already has borderline mlb projected ratings with the hopes that he turns into an allstar pitcher, COF, 1b, or C by getting ditr.

it seems to me that some ratings don’t increase as much as others with DITR. For instance, power/eye (and most physical ratings in general) only go up so much while splits seem to increase the most. Same with pitchers velocity/gb vs. control/rhp/lhp. Might be worth your while to target guys with higher velocity/gb/pitches because they can make substantial gains in control/splits.

Also with hitters targeting switch hitters, since they don’t add to the overall, and they’re naturally better hitters.

Alright, makes sense, thanks!

Wow. May In ask, what were his projections, and what were his ratings pre-DiTR?

What can be done to boost probability of multiple ditr’s. I have only been able to get 1 per season, but I see other teams with 2 or even 3

Seems random

Maybe not "great", but I love his range/glove combo considering he is a strong catcher in terms of AS/AA and PC.

He's only in his 3rd season of development too, so I think his bat will be BL worthy, especially given his value as a d catcher.
