Well, I still have not figured out how to balance the talent where top pitching is getting drafted at the top of the draft. For the most part, the top position players, including an influx of power-hitting 1B keep getting drafted high and the top pitchers are getting drafted late 1st, thus repeating the cycle of the worst teams having no pitching staff at the CBO or minor-league level. They end up having to trade good CBO positional players for maybe pitching prospects.

This is based on the fact that yesterday I was looking up the list of IRL Immaculate Innings (spurred on by the fact that I got it in this year's version and only 3% of people have that achievement
), but specifically the fact that the rate of them seems to be increasing, which makes sense with pitching becoming so out of control IRL. It made me wonder, I know rules wise you have this set up to be a bit of an older era (no DH, etc), but what year are you using for the stats? If 2020-2024 etc, it might make pitchers super powerful, but if you set it to model like the 90s 70s, 50s, 30s, etc you might get different results, etc. I know that's possible, but I've never messed with it so I'm not sure exactly how.
