But on a prospect that had 80 stamina, I took all of that out in the dev sliders and throw it in his curveball that was a 30/60 and by the end of the year that 30 was a 50. However, once again... it does depend on work ethic, intelligence and however much you are spending on dev.

Say your player has
FB 50/75
SL 45/45
CB 40/75
CH 45/70
SN 45/75

And you run secondary pitch... This is what you will get:
While it's difficult to measure the exact changes specifically due to his time at the facility, here is my best estimate:

Potential changeup stuff improves by 5
Current changeup stuff improves by 5

Your Development Complex Director
So you get a whole 5 points (even though over the 5-6 months of the program) the changeup went from 100 points to 137 but in the time of the season and putting 100 points on developing a pitch, you will see a HUGE jump. Also, the program will pick a random pitch if you have like 5 pitches to improve so, yeah, only difference is you might see a 5 point potential improve which is very minor, but overall using the dev sliders to develop your pitches worked much better and faster.
Is there any equivalent to the 'POOR' outcome? ie. As people have speculated, do you suddenly lose Stamina in that example? I haven't gotten around to testing so I do appreciate your insight.
