I would also love to see a breakdown for each pitcher as to how many of each pitch type they have thrown in that game, as well as the batting average, slugging % against that pitch. I sense that all this info relating to both to the hitting and pitching side is already generated within the game but is only visible in either the game log or the pitch sequence widget when playing the game in full.

The game isn't using physics to generate the results.
I can't imagine what the size of the files would be for every pitch thrown to retain that kind of data even if the game was using a physics-based approach by pitch.
