Potential is not static. If a players base potential ratings increase then the Overall/Potential increases.
A player’s contact/gap/power/eye/k's potential rating can increase or decrease. This includes pitching. OOTPX this was heavily tied to injuries as change from random increases and decreases that customers had coronaries over. I think OOTPXI is moving back towards random because of the devastating nature of injuries on talent and potential. The game needs this because the individuals with talent in baseball do change over the course of time and those changes are not always attributable to singular events.
I am certain there is quite a bit more to the explanation. This is the extent of my understanding.
