3 is all you need. i'd rather have 3 elite than 4 above average pitches that equate to same overall Stuff rating, for example.
heck, rather have 2 elite with 1 at minimum average than 3 of similar quality and both players at same overall stuff.
after "3" just look at quality of each. ratio of qualities will tell you how often it'll be thrown. there are situations where having too many pitches will actually cause them to throw their best pitch less often than if they had few total pitches. that can't be good, eh?
among other things, this is something i look at to evaluate pitchers. it's pretty easy to see which pitchers are more consistent than others over time -- per your league settings... varies greatly due to those. (particularly the stats settings)
