I will say that as it stands, and seeing what ratings are in commish mode, using a pictching coach as the example, it simply with power/finesse/groundball has one area the coach specializes in and will do better with that type of pitcher. I've seen posted that if power pitching is the tendency, the coach both does better with power pitchers than other types and improves K rate (for all pitchers) more than he improves other aspects.
There is no "great with power, decent with groundball, poor with finesse." If he's power pitching oriented, I don't know how much better he is with power pitching, but finesse and groundball will be equal to each other.
Your pitching coach that specialized in power pitchers and your power pitchers got worse, if it wasn't something external (old players will often get worse even with a fantastic coach for them, and TCR can just cause it by luck) then he probably has lousy ratings-- that you can get no idea of without going into commish mode.
There should be general categories like trainers have to let you pick out good coaches, but they intentionally give no info, which I think is a very bad mistake.

Thank you. It never occurred to me to go into Commissioner Mode. I just did, and my pitching coach's "teach pitching" rate seems fine (142). But "teach pitching" suggests it impacts development, not necessarily current performance. The pitchers in question are all in their late 20's or early 30's, so you wouldn't expect a steep decline. Might just be randomness.
