   How are a pitchers pitches distributed?  Does anyone know?  If I have a pitcher with splits of 85,75, 55 ... I would hope he uses the better pitches the most., leaving that bad pitch at home.

I think I'd slightly modify your question to 'What weight does each pitch carry in determining OAV (or ERA)'? Copied from another thread...

Just some rough numbers but, when it comes to WHIP:  vsL:.31, vsR:.50 while P1:.10 and P2:.13 P3:.09 while 4/5 are low. 
This is just from qualified starts from 6 leagues who just completed and are in the playoffs.

So it would seem that when it comes to whip, having three + pitches are somewhat important, but vsR is WAY more important.

Control is .4

That's just correlation between the rating and WHIP. So there is strong correlation between VsR and Whip than Pitches and Whip.
