Well, actually, yes.
In fact Garrett Crochet of the White Sox was drafted in 2020 and pitched for them out of the BP last year already. I think there was one other 2020 draft pick who did the same but memory fails at the moment.
I'm not suggesting the devs don't need to ratchet the progression down some yet. Early promotions still appear to occur too often with too many players.
I guess the big question I have is how many pitchers are being promoted to pitch out of the BP the year after their draft year? If it's just a few, it might not be so far removed from the reality of today's game IRL.
