Pitcher stamina

Can you increase a starter's stamina by consistently pushing them deeper into games?

Ex: Nate Pearson's stamina is 40. If I try to push him to, say, 100-pitch outings when I can, will that eventually go up? Or will his effectiveness just drop steeper after, say, 80 pitches than a guy with 50 or 60 stam?

My understanding is that stamina cannot be increased.

My understanding of effectiveness with regards to stamina is that a lower stamina pitcher will begin to lose effectiveness sooner than a higher stamina pitcher.

Would be an interesting experiment to try.
