Rank

From MLB Power Pros Wiki

Rank is the method by which MLB Power Pros make the numeric attribute system easier to quickly interpret. The letter grade or iconic rank system is attributed to the underlying number ranking used by the computer. You can switch back and forth between letter and number ranks in success mode by pressing the - key (Wii).

Attributes

Attribute use the A-G rating system. For pitchers these are Control and Stamina. For fielders, they are Contact, Power, Speed, Error Resistance, Arm Strength, and Fielding. A ranking of A is the highest ranking, D is about average, and G is the lowest ranking.

The tables marks off the minimum numeric point level required for each rank. Each upgrade adds 1 point to the attribute.

Attribute MAX
Control 255 180 155 135 120 110 100 0
Stamina 255 150 110 80 60 30 15 0
Power 255 180 140 120 100 85 25 1
Contact 15 14 12 10 8 6 4 1
Run Speed 15 14 12 10 8 6 4 1
Arm Strength 15 14 12 10 8 6 4 1
Fielding 15 14 12 10 8 6 4 1
Error Resistance 15 14 12 10 8 6 4 1

Note: There is a tremendous difference for Power 200 vs Power 180. If you are going for a true home run hitter, don't stop at 180. For example, Ryan Howard is over 240 in the 2007 version.

Breaking Ball Pitches

Pitchers have a separate ranking system for their pitches. All but the UP position (2-Seam Fastball) use a 7 rank system, the UP position only has 3. The higher the rank, the more break the pitch has. Pitch upgrades improve the pitch by 1 rank.
