OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Looking At Height, Handedness, and Velocity in Pitching Prospects

Whenever I look at a ptiching prospect in real life, height, handedness, and velocity are the first things that I tend to look at. My question is, in OOTP how much do these things matter. Does a 6'5 left handed pitching prospect have the same projectable ability in the game as real life or is height something that I basically don't need to look at in all when making my decision whether to draft a player or not? Also, is handedness work as it does in real life? Is a left handed pitcher more valuable than a righty with comparable stuff. Lastly, does the game incorporate velocity into the "stuff" rating or is it seperate? Thanks guys!
