Does each box represent a fixed number of pitches thrown? Best I can tell, by comparing pitches made in most recent game to boxes remaining, each box is 10 pitches made rounded to the nearest 10. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with pitcher remaining energy or stamina. most recent spring game of mine: Blackburn (10 stamina) threw 80 pitches, 8 boxes empty after the game; Heath (9 stamina) threw 23 pitches, 2 boxes empty, Kidwell (5 stamina) 35 pitches, 3 boxes empty.

Pitcher fatigue in game based on their stamina values. As they fatigue, their performance goes down. I believe that a pitcher pitching without full rest will start out further along the fatigue spectrum, but I don't know by how much. After playing a game, it takes some time for a pitcher to become fully rested (recovered). It sounds like you discovered this is based on their total pitch count and possibly not connected to their in-game fatigue at all. I don't have any issue with Fatigue and Recovery being unrelated as they probably aren't in real life either. Some guys can go longer, some guys need more rest between games, and its not necessarily a linear correlation. I'm also not surprised if Steve decided to abstract out an individualized Recovery values and use the same value for all pitchers instead. It seems like a reasonable design decision if that is the case.
