Well, I've been asking this a lot over the years.
How much important are the different pitches thrown ?

Looking at the new speed-king Jordan Hicks I find out that he has a fastball, curve and change-up in the game
As I understand it he throws a massive slider IRL, which he doesn't in this game.

Even checking a list of the fastes pitches this year, shows him throw 4-seam, 2-seam and sinker.

Overall if the type of pitch (beside the fastball) isn't of any concern in this game everything is OK, but else some pitches do tend to induce certain results more often than not.

Should Hicks be listed with another rep. than what it is now ?
Or does it not matter ?

Fangraphs list him as fastball-sinker-slider only, so perhaps that should be the case.
