Your taking that a bit too far. They do not have as much control, and luck is a large part, but good pitchers do exhibit some control.

Look at the first DIPs version of OOTP, Marcus had to add in some control to pitchers with high stuff (the stuff being the link is debateable) because he wasn't getting any pitchers varying outside the norm.

The base of Voros McCrakens work is that most pichers do not have as much control over hits as was once thought, and that K/BB/HR are far more consistant. That is different from saying they have no control
