What would prevent a team from putting like 10 SP on their roster than and have them each pitch one inning per game from 162 games then?

OOTP accounts for this with the way it is designed so that you do not end up with ridiculous exploits and unrealistic usage.

The game is highly accurate when it comes to pitcher usage.

For example, in a historical league I created yesterday from 1871-2023 Greg Maddux averaged 6.95 IP per vs his real historical value of 6.8 IP per GS. This ends up being accurate to within about 0.5 batters faced per game. His OOTP HR/9, BB/9 and K/9 were all exact matches to his historical rates at 0.6/1.8/6.1

In the same league, Mariano Rivera averaged 3.3 Outs Per Relief Appearance, the exact same as historical rate. He also pitched 1122 games in relief compared to his real value of 1105.

This stuff is calibrated properly so that you get highly accurate and realistic results.
