I'm still on the ps4 so not sure about next-gen but ps4
batting vibrates for clutch situations like such as RISP situations

Who throws six pitches with relative consistency?

Who is a two-way player in the MLB?

Bottom line: even if one person does it, they should accommodate them.

Who's the one player (or more) who throws at least six pitches with relative consistency? I just did a data pull from baseball savant and it returned zero results. Granted, I had my code only looking for players with at least six pitches and each pitch thrown at least 8% of the time. Maybe I need to lower the threshold...

Jameison Taillon should fall in that category, but I'm not sure. (EDIT: yep, according to Baseball Savant [wow what a website, I have to explore this more] his least thrown pitch is his changeup and he throws it 8.9% of the time).

And I don't know how many pitchers maybe have a 4-seam, 2-seam, cutter, then three other pitches (changeup and two breaking pitches), but it's likely.

And Carlos Rodon never throws his changeup, but he has one and on the off-chance that he throws it, the game should be emulating that in his repertoire. I assume it does, but he also only has four pitches. The point is that the rarity of the occurrence shouldn't determine whether the game has that for that pitcher or not.

I should've clarified. I meant rarity in "not a guy who throws a pitch a less than 10 times in a season in which he throws over 1000 pitches". I don't think the game should be expected to emulate a 0.1% chance of something happening. There are much bigger fish to fry in my opinion.

My threshold was higher than I thought at 10%, once I lowered it, Taillon was returned. I lowered it to 2% for fun and got a few more returns (like Lou Trivino of Oakland). A handful of players throw a pitch ~4% of the time.

I wonder if OOTP allows more than 5 pitches...

From the Mets Taijuan Walker and Chris Bassitt, I’m sure there are plenty of other starters
