You'll literally see a starters stuff raise when put in a reliever role which is a nice representation of the short inning oomph. Velocity impacts it along with pitch quality. As the engine determines K at the beginning, you can avoid bad possibilities by striking them out first. Hence why some high stuff low movement pitchers can thrive.
The game clearly awards pitchers with a large repertoire just like it will punish you for the dreaded Borderline Starter which typically means a weak 3rd pitch despite stamina etc.
