For Fried, at the moment I do not think he is a guy who would get both pitches in OOTP. I did add in a slider for him now though as that was missing and I'll review whether he should get a sinker and fb a bit more.
I'll review Soroka as well since he's also a borderline case.
As for Wright, his GB% irl is not high enough to merit a sinker in OOTP (guys need to be well over 50% and Wright in MLB so far is around 43%). What I did do for him is actually adjust his gb% and movement ratings a bit to reflect in-game how its been trending in real life toward his being a fb pitcher.

Thanks for the reply, Lukas.
I didn’t see it mentioned, but will Wright have a slider added as well?
Thanks for response on the sinkers. Makes sense. If opinion matters, I believe Soroka should be the one, of the two, to feature both a fastball and sinker as he clearly throws a 4 seamer in addition to the sinker where as Fried’s sinker is more of a two seam, like you mentioned. Cheers.
