Maybe that's in the works, though. I hope so. But I'd probably order it regardless just to keep Markus in business. After all, that's the only way I'll ever get an accurate pitching model!
That's a big item on my wishlist, too. I have yet to see a baseball game that has modeled pitcher usage well. There is enough data around at this point - and there are enough experts around here to make suggestions - that something better could be done. But I know it would be a huge undertaking, too, and I didn't actually expect it for this version. It would have been a nice surprise.
