Learning a new pitch the "natural" way is not going to jump a pitcher's Stuff rating from a 3 to a 9, though it can produce inconsequential increases.

Using the 10 point scale, I've never seen ratings jump by more than 2 points in OOTP X. Player development is pretty realistic.

Now, if you go into the Player Editor and change a pitch with all 0's to 160 (which I believe is the equivalent of an 8), the Stuff rating will indeed skyrocket.
