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.
What are the rating makeup of those players? Even with the update to development, I still think Speed, Defense & Power are overvalued. That’s not a development issue but how OVR is calculated. Those attributes are a hot commodity in a hot prospect but if they can’t hit for average or develop to hit for average especially at certain positions, they usually don’t make it in the majors, hence a lower OVR.

I feel the same about pitchers, far too many pitchers with poor control are making the main roster
