I know they say you can never have too much pitching but I've created a fictional universe that has started in 1900. I've instituted an amateur draft rather than completely copy the reserve-clause era rules.

What I'm finding is that the prospects the game is generating are, overwhelming pitchers at the top end of every class and throughout the class. This is on the order of 20 or the top 25 players being starters. Having played the game ever since it came out on Macintosh, I've never seen draft classes with what strikes me as such imbalance, particularly since the league is still in the dead ball era (current year is 1908) and pitching staffs are still relatively small.

My questions are: Has anyone else observed this and is there a way to tweak how prospects are being generated or is it all left to chance?
