Every week my pitchers are popping in feilding while my second and short stop are stuck at 10 or 11 fieldong for an entire season. This is the one thing i dont like about the game. Been playing for a while and this happens year after year. I also had a pitcher not pop in anything last week vut lwarned how to play P.neither one of these makes sense and makes training pitchers that much harder

Your SS, for eg., has this scouting: He will always be a below average fielder. Which suggests his fielding skill will max out somewhere around 7-10 skill. For pitchers, the potential fielding skill is not scouted. I find it an interesting suggestion possibly adding that to their scouting. IMO, it would be unnecessary clutter. It is lower budget than their pitching skills (1 point of a pitching skill yields 1.25 SI; 1 point of fielding skill yields 0.5 SI). Leaving it unscouted also provides a little more mystery about a pitcher's development, which I feel is important. As for your pitchers being great fielders, that may be due to small sample size. I have some pitchers who aren't sure which hand the glove goes on.
