I wonder if it has to do with ratings generation (coupled with league setup I'm sure). If you end up with too many RPs with blue stuff ratings, maybe the result is too many Ks late in games (i.e. when PHs are batting). Could also get traced back to not enough third pitches being developed, hence too many good RPs in some instances. I know my fictional solo league is a little this way - too stuff heavy and light on control.
Hmmm...I wish it were more cut and dry than this.
Sorry if this is OT

My league is exactly the same. Many pitchers don't get past 45 in control. Of course for modern baseball it's not too far off the mark!

Good work by Tony on the PH stats.
