I think it's basically impossible for historical leagues - they don't even get the pitches accurately assigned for pitchers there. It's not an OOTP thing - it's just that who has that info logged? You know it if you are a fan of a pitcher, but otherwise.... It's the same with PSBB and FPSBB - random assignment of pitch types to historical pitchers. But in the case of fictional players, IMO there should definitely be value to pitches and the ability to throw various pitches. I'd prefer to see the system overhauled - set it as a longterm goal.

Nothing addressed pitching like FPSBB. Each pitch was rated, and each pitcher threw the various pitches at different speeds. It was just great. If OOTP could somehow assign values to the various pitches - a player's ability to throw a pitch with some level of skill, then the game would grow by leaps and bounds.

But as it stands, it matters not - for the most part - that a pitcher throws this or that pitch. Mainly eye candy. And I am not for that at all in a baseball sim. Not at all.
