In my experience the Hold Runners rating acts as a flag to whether a player is a pitcher or batter. So if the Hold Runners rating is 0, he develops as a hitter and his pitching ratings (stuff, etc.) are frozen. If the rating is anything other than 0 he develops as a pitcher and his batting ratings (eye, power, gap, etc.) are frozen and do not develop.

I'm new to the game but I've done a lot of research into this because this was driving me crazy until I figured it out.

So if you want you can manually change a pitcher to a hitter by exporting the roster and changing the Hold Runners rating. You can't do it by editing the ratings as commissioner because you aren't allowed to set a rating to 0.

Hope that helps.
