The mysterious case of the 89-91mph pitcher
All these years I've always wondered: why does OOTP change its scale for pitching velocity after 90-92? Why isn't there an 89-91 pitcher?

Scale for reference

99-101
98-100
97-99
96-98
95-97
94-96
93-95
92-94
91-93
90-92
GAP IN SPACE TIME CONTINUUM
89-90
87-89
86-88
85-87
84-86
83-85
82-84
WTF GOES HERE
80-83

"People assume that OOTP rates pitches on a strict progression of arm strength to velocity, but actually - from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... speedy weedy... stuff."

Is it a space for the off-speed pitch from a flamethrower? So a guy at 96-99 might have a change or some other off-speed pitch at 89-91.

There's just no need to have it because obviously nobody ever throws in the 89-91 range.

I'm pretty sure Sid Finch threw in the 89-91 range.

No way. His changeup was 95-96.

Ha! I was thinking more along the lines of "...this is the only thing about which to find even the smallest fault."

They are also handy for dragging the infield.
