I've never known if a Finesse Pitching Coach improves everybody's Control, improves only Finesse Pitchers' Control more than normal, or improves only Finesse Pitchers' ratings across the board more than normal. And how much their philosophy matters compared to their teaching ability.

Although I appreciate the mystery behind development and coaching... short of a complete overhaul I wish it was a bit more transparent. Would help in knowing whether to hire certain coaches. Some coaches like Power focused ones are pretty straightforward. But the rules to end up in a Contact or Patience bucket are pretty opaque. Lots of obvious Contact guys will be classified as being better trained by Power coaches. It should just be based on a hitter's best stat out of CON/POW/EYE.
