SUGGESTION

Include in OOTP a database of historic pitch types (based on the Neyer Guide, which has been updated on-line). The "default" pitch types for players not included in the Neyer Guide, IMO, should be the most common pitch types only. One pitch could even be identified as the "out" pitch for each player.


REASON

To enhance the realism of historical play. Wilbur Wood, for example, should throw a knuckle ball, Fernando Valenzuela a screwball, Ron Guidry a slider, etc. (Conversely, Randy Johnson should NOT throw a knuckleball.)


PRIORITY

Low.

NOTE: I believe BM already includes this data in its game.
