Groundballers are the easiest to identify. Check your pitchers GB/FB Frequency in his profile (above his Velocity rating). If it says Groundball or Extreme Groundball, then he will for sure show up in a Groundball coaches Influence list. If your pitcher's GB/FB rating is Neutral, Flyball, or Extreme Flyball, he won't. I know for certain, if you have a Groundball pitching coach but see no players in his Influence list, then you don't actually have any Groundball pitchers.
As for the other two (Power and Finesse), well, those are just as hit and miss as the Contact hitter/coach example I gave in my other post. I rarely see players show up on a Finesse coaches list either. Same w/ hitting coaches who focus on Patience. I see power pitchers/hitters show up... but I have a Power pitching coach on my team and a RP w/ 80/80 Stuff and a velocity of 99-101, yet he's not considered a power pitcher for some reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have to admit that the current way coaches work is so unnecessarily opaque that it is very tempting to turn on commissioner mode. Without it you are just stabbing in the dark, and while RL has some uncertainty, it shouldn't be THIS bad.

There is a way to tell if Managers and Bench Coaches have good Editor ratings or not w/o directly viewing the ratings via Commish Mode...
When you click on the Relationship tab for Managers and Bench Coaches, it has that rating for Player Development and Player Relationships. They either say Excellent (Blue), Good (Green), Average (mostly Yellow but can sometimes be Green), Below Average (Orange), or Poor (Red). If it says Excellent for Player Development, the manager/bench coach will 100% have excellent Editor ratings. If it says Poor, he will 100% have poor Editor ratings.
Unlike a managers reputation (which largely depends on the overall team success), those Player Dev. ratings directly correlate to the Editor. So look at hiring managers w/ Good or Excellent Dev. ratings, especially for your minor league teams (where the main goal is developing players).
Pitching and Hitting coaches, on the other hand, do not have these "worded" ratings in their relationship tab, so it's impossible to know what you're getting under the hood w/o using the Editor... but at least you won't be stabbing in the dark w/ managers.
