More than confirmed that being cold does affect a P's performance by a bug that was discovered in v13. There is a big thread you could probably find by searching (sorry don't have time to find and link now).
Bug was with warmup on while your pitcher came in warm the AI P's did not resulting in too many walks and the tendency to get shelled early. It was a hard bug to spot and I wish I could remember who reported it but it took a lot of research and time to document the issue and get others to confirm so Markus would look into it and fix it.
