Drafting Questions

I would like to filter the draft class by Power Pitcher. I've been looking through the different filters and can't seem to find it.

Is this not possible or am I blind?

If I’m looking for a power pitcher, I set my screen to show pitching ratings, then sort by “stuff”. Sometimes this will give pitchers with nasty breaking pitches that aren’t necessarily power pitchers, but it’s a good start, as the game rates most pitchers with ++fastballs highly on stuff.

I think you could filter by velocity. Power pitchers should have velocity of 95-97 or better, I think.

Also note that pitchers can have their velocity increase as they develop too.

I'm not at my baseball laptop but can't you add the "Type" filter in customize view for pitcher ratings?

If you go to the customize view and select type you can then sort the draft pitching prospects by type.
