I am assuming there was no change to the quick counts and it is still completely random.
I would like ethier a simple of in depth change for next year.
A simple change would be if there are pitchers with high strikeout numbers they start with more counts ahead of the batter (0-1, 1-2, 0-2 etc...) and vice versa for those with high walk rates....You could have multiple assignable pitch count ratings that each pitcher real or created could have assigned to them based on past performance/stats.
A more in depth would be to look at each pitcher individually and the % of each count they achieve before ball is put in play, pitches thrown by inning, pitches a game, vs. LHB vs. RHB and so on.
And of course taking into effect the batter that is at the plate and their tendencies to work the count to be factored in to the pitch counts would be the ultimate.
