There is a grey area wherein the third pitch will allow the pitcher to start, if he only had the two to begin with. But, generally, with multiple pitches in the arsenal, if his stamina supports it, he'll be able to start. But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
Sidenote: I'm still holding on to, perhaps, a myth I came to believe in long ago in the early versions. I still notice, pitches aside, that a guy with three fairly balanced ratings in stuff, movement, and control (maybe one's a tad better than the others) but basically a 50/50/50 guy, will tend to have a lot more success than one who excels in just one area alone. I haven't run a test, but I sure see these guys doing very well on a regular basis. So those 'balanced' ratings coupled with a pitch repertoire of at least average ratings and number make me believe I've a solid starter. FWIW
