I my workingtely love this capability. The more available data, the better, I say. No one is forced to look at it, if they don't want to. It's interesting that I came across your post tonight. I was playing out a dozen or so games last night and during one I was a bit perplexed and unhappy.
I play with the strike zone window enabled and expanded to show the pitch type and pitch speed. I'm mad at myself because I can't remember the pitcher's name now, but one of his innings on the mound against my team went like this:
Batter 1: 6 pitches thrown - 6 change-ups
Batter 2: 5 pitches thrown - 5 change-ups
Batter 3: 2 pitches thrown - 2 change-ups
Batter 4 5 pitches thrown - 5 change-ups
Batter 5: 3 pitches thrown - 3 change-ups
After the second batter, I clicked on the pitcher's name to see what was up with this guy. His repertoire consisted of 3 pitches: Slider, Curveball & Change-Up. His slider was his highest rated pitch at 60/60. His change-up was a 55/55. His curveball was a 45/55.
This was a Spring Training game and that ended up being his last inning pitching for my opponent, so I didn't get to see what a second inning might look like. 21 pitches in one inning with 21 change-ups? Come on. If that were common, then it wouldn't even be considered a change-up!! He's not changing anything.
Finally, I would love to have some way to influence the way our pitchers pitch. For instance, Mariano Rivera throws his 4-seam fastball much more than his Cutter. I think it would be awesome if we could adjust something to influence pitching. Even if we can't put specific numbers into a feature like this, it would still be great if each pitch had a slider next to it in the players Game Strategy. A slider from Less to More.
