You know how we managers get frustrated at seeing our developing pitchers keep gaining Fielding point after Fielding point (e.g., Donovan) because we'd rather see those half-points go towards something more "practical" like Movement or Control? Are our pitchers affected by the bench coach and his defensive impartment? In other words, by having a bench coach who "is excellent at teaching fielding," do we "risk" our pitchers getting more Fielding points, at the detriment of other more pitcher-related points? (Again, probably stupid question, I know.)

If they max their POT, then they will max their fielding to its potential. A good coach will increase the speed at which they reach their fielding potential, but it doesn't take away from how quickly they reach their other potentials. Every skill (which isn't maxed) is constantly improving a small amount every training update. This is why you will sometime have long droughts, and suddenly see a guy pop in several things all at once. He just happens to be rolling over the rounding threshold with those skill at the same time. I think it might be a little less frustrating when you understand that the guy was born with those skills and there is nothing you could do about it? Updated Sunday, December 5 2021 @ 8:24:28 am PST
