Well, my crazy is about to show with this response. Here is every beginning and end of season ranking from Sony and the Full Minors team for the last 5 years (MLB the Show 24, 23, 22, 21, and 20).

Edit: I'm dumb, I gave Justin Steele's ratings at first. Here is Jordan Wicks. Looks like in 2021 Full Minors gave him a circle change at 0-Velocity, 59-Control, and 60-Break.

Hope this helps


Also, just hopping on FanGraphs (https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jo...&pitchtype=all) it shows he has an average velocity of 81.3 Mph with horizontal movement of 6.5" and vertical movement of 2.3". You can massage those numbers to a more modern rating. Look around for others who throw changeups and see who has similar movement and match the break to them.
