I think that what the hot/cold zones are SUPPOSED to represent, but I dont think the engine for that is sophisticated enough to be like an actual scouting report.
If you ever watch real baseball, youll notice many times that the coaches are in the dugout flipping through a three ring binder filled with pages. Thats the scouting report that has so much info on the pitchers/batters that you can probably find their shoe size too.
