The idea of the pitch system in the game now is that when a pitcher has only one or two pitches he won't be designated as a starter in training. That's the game telling you that that pitcher should be a reliever by the time he gets to the majors (though he might be good enough to start in the low minors with one pitch, or the high minors with two).
