Changeup in Draft

[LeftHandPath]

Hey guys,
I just came over something which makes me wondering if this is intended by the devs.
I am currently at the 2025 draft and see a lot of pitchers having a very low Changeup potential. I looked through the upcoming draft classes and noticed the same for these draft classes.
In the 2027 draft class there are almost 50% of the pitchers with a very low changeup potential (40 or less).
Combined with the fact, that changeups are the hardest pitch to develop which makes changeups often not reach their potential, I see a major concern in that issue.
I know there have been some concerns about changeups and their development for young pitchers for many OOTP versions, but I have never seen that many low-potential changups.
I assume that the difficulty of developing changeups possibily leads to a decreasing potantial for these young draft prospects and I am not sure if this is intended.

It sounds like this is pretty much working as intended.

I know the basic idea in the dev engine is that the ability to throw 3 pitches is the main differentiating factor between pitchers that turn into SP's and RP's. So lots of those 2 and a half pitch guys are just going to become RP's, and that's working as designed.

If anything, we might just need to tone down things a bit more in the hand created draft classes from 2021-2024 in the future to create less guys there with three pitches and more closely match the dev engine so the difference is less obvious when you get to the generated classes.
