That's not to say a guy pitching in relief won't learn a new pitch, it just seems that putting them in the starting role encourages it more.
Not automatically but his recommended role may go from start to spot starter or down to emergency starter.

It would be nice to be able to choose whether a guy is working on a new pitch and what pitch he is working on. It would seem that different pitches would be more difficult than others and could shape what kind of starter or reliever a guy is.
Also, do you get an email or some sort of notice when a pitcher learns a new pitch? That would be great. I would hope we don't have to constantly search through all those players to find them.
