I can throw every pitch. (granted, my best one probably tops out at 23 on a 1-100 scale)
I guarentee you every MLB Pitcher can throw every pitch too and they should have a rating for every pitch type. The question is "How good" can they throw it, and should they be throwing it in a big league game.

I would like the ability to select which pitches, my pitchers are allowed to throw (or have a pitching coach auto do it, if you dont want to micro manage). Even put a % of how to distribute the pitches. You can even put in a variable with your catchers Catching ability rating or the pitchers or catchers inteligence, as to how closely he follws your instructions.

Got a stud releiver, with 2 80+ pitches, but you need him to start a game. When he is pitching 1 inning, all he needs is those 2 stellar pitches. But when he starts, let him start including his 40 change up into the mix, maybe even his 35 slider set to 5%, just to give the guess hitters something to think about. Maybe have an internal setting, so the the more a hitter see's a pitch from a pitcher, the greater his ability is to hit it. (this screams "adaptability rating") Keep throwing that 95 rated fastball, eventaully hitters are going to clue into it. Sure he can get past 1 inning with just the heater, but the 2nd time through the lineup, you need to start mixing things up. So better start mixing in some of the lesser pitches if he needs to go a few innings.
