Filling Feeder Teams

It's time to do another dive into how this universe is working. First up is the maintenance I do before every season -- using the league settings screen to fill feeder teams with fictional players. I do this on the day before the NCAA season starts because it begins before any of the High School leagues do.

On average, there are 0.7 hitters added per team in each league and 2.1 starting pitchers. SS, CF, C, and RF are added most frequently while LF, 2B, 1B, and 3B are more rarely needed. In the test I did, no relievers were added at all, but that may be due to the fact that I limit the number of relievers on each roster in the feeder leagues.

My initial reasoning behind checking this was just to make sure that I need to continue doing so and the answer is a resounding yes. Imagine if there were 373 starting pitchers that just didn't exist in the feeder leagues?
