I've seen 50 as 3rd pitch on 20-80 do pretty good. As actual and not potential in MLB.

Recent irl draftee Matthew Liberatore in my 1 file current was 40 with like 65 potential thought he was safe as I've seen 40 develop while almost never seen under 40 develop (talking about change up here). Had to call him cause of injuries and did as a fill in I had a 70 pitch count on him. Played about 20 games.

Next year change-up halted and without the low pitch count lost all effectiveness.

If that 3rd pitch is a Change and it has a low current rating in my games I've almost never seen it develop. But IRL it is the hardest for prospects to develop so pretty good mimic. While if 3rd pitch is a slider or curve or something seen them at least get a current rating of 50 way more often even if it never develops to the 75 potential or whatever. They can get by if their other 2 pitches are plus or plus plus as a Starter.
