Pitcher Stamina confusion?
 

Chad Green of NYY is considered a starter in the game but has a stamina 0f 40 to 45, so he last only 5 innings or less. And then I have a reliever like Woody White (drafted in game) with a stamina of 70 that is not considered a starter.

Not sure how the game is determining starters and relievers?

Two ways for a pitcher to be considered a reliever:

1. Have only 2 pitches, no matter what his stamina

2. Have stamina less than I believe 30

I think 25/100 is the minimum stamina. But the role is just visual, I believe. The AI will select what it thinks are the best 5 starters for the rotation, and their role will be set to SP, and then any other pitchers will be RP or CL, even if they could be SP.

I'm not sure if minimum stamina requirement has any meaning to player-controlled teams though. I mean, I know I've been able to use a 15/100 stamina player as a starter and it seemed to work fine, but of course they can't pitch that many pitches before getting tired.

You would think Chad Green's stamina would improved with more starts, but I don't see it changing.

Stamina can only change randomly. You can't stretch out a player's stamina or anything like that.

The way the game handles starting pitchers vs relief pitchers is god awful
