That's funny, because I hate drafting low control pitchers. I find that a pitcher with poor control rarely becomes good.
Development seems to be pretty random, but 50 control seems to be the magic point. Anything less and they just put too many men on base to be effective.
Nothing worse than seeing your pitcher pick up on their stuff, but then lose control, and no longer be a viable pitcher.
