So this is what I'm thinking:

100 MPH Top Speed
Control 120-135 ...From 2011-2014, BB/9 is 3.07
Stamina 50 - Yes I understand that the closers in the game have 30 in Stamina but there's no way I can pass AA and reach the skill requirements while only pitching 2-3 innings per game. I've made a handful of closers with E (50) Stamina before, so I shouldn't have a problem

Knuckle Curveball 3-4

Not sure if I want to give him a Slider. He did throw a Slider in the prior seasons, but (according to fangraphs) he did not throw a single Slider in the 2014 season.

W/RISP 4 - Yes, Strand Rate % has not fallen below 80% in his career
VS Lefty 4 - Yes, lefties hit .159 and righties hit .144 (both career stats). Even though lefties hit slightly better, they are hitting at very low BA... And it's very hard to avoid haha
Poise 4 - Yes
Fastball Life - Yes, .170 BA against Fastball in career
Spin 4 - Yes, .127 BA against Knuckle Curveball, and if we use a Slider, then the BA against it is .107 (both career stats).
Recovery 4 - Yup yup yup yup yup yup
Dr. K - Yes, out of every MLB season, K/9 was at a lowest of 13.2. I may not be able to get this because his Stamina will prevent me from pitching enough innings to get enough strikeouts.
STR Finisher - Yes, converted 186 Saves in 205 Save Chances; 19 Blown Saves. Even though we don't have threshold, those numbers look elite

Release 2 - Maybe? In 2014 1 CS in 6 attempts. In 2013 2 CS in 5 attempts. In 2012 1 CS in 9 attempts.

Groundball Pitcher - No

Lotta blues here, but I think he deserves each one. Feedback is very helpful!

This is good that you're re-doing him, mikeypags made one but his stamina was an unrealistic C 85. Just don't get stamina over 50 here. Top speed is the main deal with Kimbrel. If you get stamina to 50, and have money at end, I would buy the glove that gives you +1 top speed and -5 stamina, that would help out I think.

How bout safe pitch? He averages less than 0.5 homers per 9 innings.
Consistency 4 definitely
Dr K
and your other blues are fine.
He is a very dominant closer and not just over one season.

This is the finalized version:

100 MPH Top Speed
Control 120-135
Stamina 50

Knuckle Curveball 3-4

Intimidator (I'll give intimidator a few tries, if I can't seem to get any closer than the previous attempt, then I'll get rid of it)
W/RISP 4
VS Lefty 4
Poise 4
Fastball Life 4
Spin 4
Recovery 4
Consistency 4
Dr. K
STR Finisher
Safe Pitch

He wasn't as hard to make as I thought. To anyone, he looks over powered (not denying that) but in real life he is pretty OP.
And yes, I understand his stamina is too high for the game's standards, but if it was at 40, I would not have been able to complete him.
