Here are the 2 same pitchers with current ratings enabled.

While Pitcher 2, also having some room to grow with his split, is 26 and the AI assumes done developing? What's weird is both pitchers have equal primary pitches, pitcher 1 currently has a superior second pitch while pitcher 2 has 2 above average secondary pitches (and slightly better stamina)...yet he's strictly bullpen. just don't know. I should really stop trying to understand this.

I think this does clarify. On the left the third pitch becoming fully developed cinches the SP projection even if it falls short of 75. On the right even if pitch 2 and 3 fully develop he is a one trick pony that batters can wait on; hence his best use is as a mid/late inning RP in short stints.
In theory and in OOTP you can start a guy with two dominant ie maxed out pitches,but every rating must be high for that to work.
