The individual pitch ratings are more useful for how you would deploy the pitcher. The pitcher you provided as an example will be a decent to middling starting pitcher I would think, since he has 3 decent pitches. You need more than 2 quality pitches to prevent large penalties the 2nd and 3rd time through the lineup. However, since none of those pitches are "plus" he isn't going to get a major boost as a short-inning relief pitcher. So, the individual pitch ratings help tell you to keep this guy in a "longer" role (starter or long reliever).
