Pitcher Stamina Messes with Potential Rating

I was messing around with the player ratings in the editor, and I noticed that once a player reached 100 Stamina (in the editor), their Overall rating, and especially their Potential rating shot way up.

I know that Stamina does factor into Overall and Potential, and when you bump Stamina up one point at a time, Overall and Potential do slightly climb, as to be expected. However, once you go from 99 to 100 Stamina, Potential shoots up like 10-15 points.

I know that 50 Stamina (in the editor) is the cutoff for where the AI considers a pitcher to be a starter, and therefore values them much more highly in terms of trades and contracts, although there is no visual difference in Overall and Potential.

In past versions of OOTP, I have never known there to be some benefit to reaching 100 Stamina (in the editor), and Overall and Potential have never shot up like this. This makes a huge difference for the AI (and myself when evaluating pitchers at a glance) in terms of how they handle trade value and contracts, as they are putting a lot of value in that one Stamina point (99 vs 100), despite it not actually providing any real extra value.

This is my first version of OOTP 24, so I don't know if this has been an issue for the entirety of 24, or just this build. Like I said, I've never experienced this in any past releases of OOTP.

I am playing on OOTP Version 24.4 Build 61.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

EDIT: I have been doing the testing with 100% scouting accuracy, so it is not a scouting issue.

EDIT 2: It seems like the amount of "boost" the 100 Stamina provides scales based on the Overall and Potential. The higher the Overall and Potential to begin with, the bigger the boost. It's like +4 or 5 if it the pitcher is a 40 (20-80 scale), and +15ish if the pitcher is a 65.

EDIT 3: Actually, I'm not really sure. The amount of "boost" seems to vary based on other things as well. It seems that the higher Stuff the pitcher has, the more boost they get... Still looking into it!

EDIT 4: I guess this might not be a "bug" per se, so maybe this wasn't the right place to report this, but I've never experienced this in any past version, and it certainly seems like an issue. I didn't upload my league file because I was testing on a brand new save on the latest patch, but I suppose I can if you need me to. I attached the Ratings settings I am using as an image.
