Why not just have the pitches rated the same way pitchers are rated now? Control, Movement, and Stuff.

It could work well. A sinker could have a higher probablity of having a good movement rating since it's intention is to keep the ball pounded on the ground and apparently Movement affects homeruns. While a pitch like the Knuckleball would likely have a low stuff rating and control rating but possibly a high movement rating? Or however way it may work. Fastballs would be high on stuff and then from there it's all about the talent of the pitcher. Does he have good control? Does his fastball have good natural movement and therefore a high Movement rating?


I think stats would be even more accurate in a pitch-by-pitch mode.
