OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Hitting Prospects vs Pitching Prospects Question

Sabertooth · 03-17-2015, 10:01 AM

I'm relatively new to OOTP15 and have thus far found that when draft pools are released there tends to be a far greater number of hitting prospects with high potential ratings, than pitching prospects. Is this simply a coincidence for the season that I'm in, or does this reflect the difficult nature of finding blue chip pitching prospects?

This leads me to a second question -- if the top pitching prospects in the pool project to be "minor leaguers at best" by my scout, should I then draft them in the later rounds and just focus on the high ceiling hitters early?

Or do pitching prospects perhaps develop differently?

Any feedback much appreciated.
