It's not so much a complaint as it is me just trying to understanding what affects a player's development the most.

I agree that, with the exception of his record, his numbers are more or less what I would expect out of a starter in his first full year. Which is why I was curious as to if win/loss has any influence on the development of a player, or if it was something more along the lines of a re-evaluation of the player in the OSA report, natural progression, a combination of different stats, etc.

I know that the value placed on wins/losses has dropped when it comes to evaluating a pitcher, but for all intents and purposes, this is his first real year with the team, and to see his potential steadily decline (It's only been a handful of points, but it's decreased steadily) when he's having a 20 win season just strikes me as a bit odd.

I know it's a small sample size, but I would just assume that it would, at the very least, remain the same. Or even increase as the season progresses, with him suffering a bigger drop in potential next year if he struggles.

Just trying to get a better understanding of the mechanics is all
