Valenzuela has a screwball potential of 75 in '26 but in '27 it's average, well worse than guys like Mike Scott. I realize it's not going to effect stuff negatively if the sum of the parts is the same but it just seems weird and it seemed correct in previous versions.
Did something change w/r/t the historical db in this regard? I'm noticing it with many historical pitchers in this version and '26 (and before) seemed much more aligned with history for this. It's more of an immersion thing for me I suppose. Like Fernando w/o an elite screwball (scouting notes mention his signature pitch is a curveball), Nolan Ryan without an elite fastball, even if it doesn't really matter, just doesn't seem right. I started going through and manually shifting those values around but it's a lot of work lol.
Thanks!

So went over and updated Fernando's pitch types and quality. They looked long neglected for him. it's possible the game relies on them more than it used to (maybe b/c of advanced stats?) so if you see any other ones that look out of place, let me know. Everyone probably deserves an audit but for now, if you see someone - esp. a star pitcher that looks wonky, eel free to post it here. I'll take a look as I do.
