they clearly have different results, if you pay attention.

not paying attention isn't evidence that they are all equal. you admit you never look, but feel they are all the same. that makes the rational portion of my brain hurt.

if you did FB/SL as base and then used Changeup and CB as teh test 3rd pitch you'd see they'd have different resulting hr/9 bb/9 slash against etc etc -- all other things remaining the same...

the simple fact there are pitches that favor vs opposing or same handed batters, or is it opposite? whatever, it is 1 of the 2 -- AND the #'s of each is far from even (L v R players). that alone means each will be different due to this 1 factor.

i don't think any pitch shares teh same split, but if they do and they perform differently that's more evidence that other factors are also at play causing differences between pitches.

e.g. CB is ~near even split, maybe 1 off? a changeup is weaker vs same handed batter (based on stuff alone in profile editor - ceterus paribus).

if they don't, this is objectively a %#$ simulation not worth buying. a baseball sim where all pitches are equal in what they do means all pitches are merely named differently. that sounds terrible.

each pitch is a variable or object or class whatever the buzzword is now... it's not unlike a row in a database, really. multiple variables make up each "pitch" profile. it's not just a single # that displays % success, although it can be mined down to that value relative to any context.
