wil_m Joined: 01/08/2016 Posts: 248 Inactive | I saw this thread and became curious. I looked at the online game manual. It does not list arm as one of the pitching skills. And this is interesting, it says that the arm rating and the other fielding ratings are halved when calculating the SI sum for pitchers. Pitcher's Skill Index = 1.25 * (velocity + change of speeds + ball movement + control + stamina) + 0.5 * (fielding + range + arm) |
