Stretching out a Reliever

Dave1408 · 03-28-2015, 08:57 PM

I just acquired a pitching prospect with 5/20 stamina. I'd like to make him a starter. If i force him to start games will his stamina gradually increase?

Thanks!

Stamina does tend to creep upwards gradually in the game, but slowly, though usage does not have anything to do with that as far as I'm aware. Major injuries sometimes kill Stamina though.

How many plus pitches does he have? In my experience forcing relievers to start might yield good results in the minors, but they usually get rocked in the big leagues.
