Reasonably accurate historical pitch repertoires are not present.

There are values present for all pitchers in the master.csv file that came with the game. Tom Seaver has values of "1","4","3","2","0","0", etc.

This looks like 1-fastball, 2-slider, 3-curve, 4-change. This is decent, I think. Phil Niekro's combination looks like fastball, slider, curve, splitter. This is obviously not correct.

While there are values present, I never see them have any effect on import. I imported Bob Gibson multiple times, and I got a new combination of pitch combinations everytime. When his repertoire was limited to three pitches, his velocity was either 94-96 or 95-97. When his repertoire was expanded, his velocity was 92-93.

Changing pitch ratings after import seems dangerous. It does have an effect on the ratings and the resultant L/R split.
