Post-patch, in two tests, teams are still promoting these guys but the numbers is down to the 30/40 range for the whole league.
I am seeing the same with a large number of just drafted players, especially pitchers, being promoted to the major leagues their rookie pro season but most are college age. My league is fictional with a December draft and 5 levels of minors. Otherwise all default settings. Feels like it may be more an AI roster management issue than development as most promoted guys play sparingly but are on an MLB roster instead of playing regularly in the minors for a few years. Makes sense one or two might occasionally fast track to the majors but I am seeing 10-15 pitchers every year and about half as many hitters. This is with a new league created post patch.
