CON: 7 (E)
PWR: 125 (C)
RUN SPD: 8 (D)
ARM STR: 9 (D)
FLD: 8 (D)
E RES: 9 (D)

And if anyone wants to know what I chose for strength and weaknesses, here they are:

Type:
All rounder

Strengths:
Amazing bat control
Good contact

Weakness:
Ugly dude

I think everyone (including me haha) are too humble and are getting drafted in the third-fourth round which might affect our stats. First round picks might improve them.

The round you get picked in must affect something or else it wouldn't be there.

Might have something to do with scouting at the beginning.

E is not exactly slugger power...

That's somewhat similar to what my guy started with (your stats are better), also a 1st round high school pick (18 years old in year 1):

My strengths were 'amazing bat control' and 'great in the clutch,' with a weakness of 'poor base stealing.' I chose Slugger instead of All-Around. What will be interesting to compare as you play is where your stats peak. My guy had his CON peak at 9 (D), RUN SPD peak at 13 (B), and FLD peak at 13 (B). I haven't peaked anything else yet, so I'm not sure where PWR and ARM STR will cut off.

I think first rounder's stats die off faster though =/
I picked 1st round high school
Slugger
Natural Power
400 ft throw
bad baserunning
and I got...
4 contact (peaked at 10)
120 power
3 run speed
10 arm
5 field
5 error

I made a first rounder who got just about all his stats as high as possible before decreasing.
