I have a pitcher, age 26 with 86 makeup, who pitched great in Spring Training, was uninjured, and lost several points of ratings when the season began.

In all my seasons, I've never seen an injured player under the age of 27 regress EVER. He was on the 60-day DL last season but he still progressed a little bit, as you can see. I opened up a ticket with support and their response was "I don't see any obvious reason for the decline, but there is some randomness built into the logic, so it may have just been a rare negative outcome."

I'm not satisfied with that answer, but they obviously don't really care and aren't looking into it. I want to know if anybody as ever seen an uninjured player regress in Spring Training.

It's weird that some of the attributes went down while others stayed the same (or even improved as with glove).

I've seen instances where a player was medically boosted beyond his "maximum potential", and then certain attributes go back down the next interval after returning to health. However, at the end of a season those instances usually reset prior to rollover as opposed to in-between ST and OD.

I get the sense that's what this actually is but we cannot be sure based on support's response. Not that they really give a hoot anymore either way, but that's another story
