well a 2-pitch reliever (with 125/250 stamina) is a good starter as long a they have high control like a typical ace starter.

if it's 110/250 control with elevated stuff and movement of a high-caliber reliever, they are pretty crappy.

sean doolittle had a 3.41 era pitching 200ip and a 125era+.

so it seem control becomes a more important if you have fewer pitches, is what i would surmise, for a starter.

he was fifth in ERA for the AL. led the league in QSP at .688.

doolittle is a low mph guy, too. the worst stuff of the bunch i tested. and a lefty, which in general results in worse pitching stats.

aroldis chapman on the other hand with much lower control did not fair as well. netiehr did the other ones who also had lower control.

so, 2-pitches influences results, but if they have 70/80 control and are a high-end talent reliever, they will likely be a cy young candidate in your league with enough stamin.

i'm gonna run one more year and change all control equal to doolittle.


edit: looks like a 1/5 chance for a great season and 4/5 for a crappy one, lol. so my theory isn't right aobut 2-pitch pithers.
