For historical leagues you could make it an option, but I wonder if you could tie the types of pitches they get to the ratings they receive. For instance, someone with great movement but no control would get a knuckleball. I don't know that aspect of the game well enough to say what should determine gives you a changeup, curveball, etc, but I'm sure many here do. And high velocity obviously should go along with a fastball, but I don't know if velocity is a randomly generated thing in itself. Maybe the game already does this?
What I'd like to see is players who have few pitch types to choose from are predominantly relievers and those with more have a better shot at being starters.
I think tieing the chances of pitch outcomes to the actual pitches is a bit trickier, but maybe you still have overall stuff, movement and control ratings, but you also have those for each pitch type. Then the overall is a weighted average taking into consideration that the pitcher will probably want to throw his best pitches more often. The hard part is probably getting the best advice on when a certain pitch should be thrown in a certain situation taking into consideration what other pitches you have and that you don't want to throw the same thing in the same situation every time.
