Why not look in the developer's chats first? Generally better info there than you'll get from first-level CS.

Are the ratings numbers generated randomly? I feel like certain categories should be linked, but get the impression that they're not when I see guys with 80 range and 20 speed. (usssalami - Pro - 12:05 PM)

Ratings are generated based on player type and the ratings that matter are linked. Speed and range are not linked because it is not necessary to have great speed to have great range. Cal Ripken is a great example of this, he wasn't fast but he could position himself well enough to make a lot of plays.

Does arm strength/arm accuracy affect pitchers at all? It seems to me that my guys (even with high control) tend to walk considerably more batters if their arm accuracy is also not very high. (leppykahn - Hall of Famer - 2:33 PM)

Arm strength and accuracy don't affect a pitchers pitching ability, that is only for fielding. Those two ratings could best be represented with the velocity rating and the control rating.

So far so good with a similar pitcher...although it's a small sample size.

I stand corrected. Thanks for sending the ticket and finding the deve chat info. I was wrong.
