How do I get the ai to hook pitchers based off of energy and not pitch count?

It seems the ai hooks my sp after 100 pitches regardless. How can I get the ai to hook pitchers based off of energy levels not pitch count. Because my pitcher is capable of way more pitches than 100.

Might need to adjust your pitcher stamina in your league settings under the Stats & AI tab. Once there you'll look for general strategic tendencies. Mine is set to 'high' plus I have pinch hit for pitchers set to 'rarely.' But, that's because I have a personal preference for starters to complete games in my fictional league. With these settings solid pitchers in my league consistently throw over 100 pitches in a game. In the last game I watched one pitcher throw 125 pitches while the other threw 103. Both completed the game.

Yeah i see the settings are default at very low, ill adjust it to normal and see what happens. I'd like to have the ai let them throw up to 120 and not this 100 pitch strict count they have for guys who have 80/80 stamina and can throw 120 with ease. I wish there was a setting where the game would just hook the starter when hes tired instead of a clear set pitch count the game uses.
