I will provide what I feel is proof for my reasoning on this topic. I'm going to do it a serious of posts so it is a bit easier to follow. Again,just my opinion but should get some interesting discussion going Here it goes: I will start with a pitcher

After having played for awhile now I feel pitchers are at a disadvantage development wise compared to hitters. Let me outline an example: Pitcher A Fielding 8(8si) Arm 8(8si) Range. 8(8si) Velocity. 6(9si) C.O.S. 12(18si) Movement. 14(21si) Control. 12(18si) Stamina. 12(18si) So pitcher has an SI of 108. Now I will put up an example of a hitter with the same SI

The batters 4 core numbers add up to 51(I only give half For power affecting overall hitting). So the batter has a +7. Let's divide this by 2 since the pitcher does have the advantage of "surprise" in that he is attacking and the hitter is defending. We'll round down to make it an even +3. So now the hitter here has a 30% advantage in this matchup because his core stat bars only cost 1si compared to the pitchers 1.5si. Thus pitchers are always behind the curve overall. Of course,this is just one humble mans opinion
