Can’t say we’ve been worse than average at pitcher drafting or developing, would need a larger data pull for that.

Is it signs of an inefficiency though is the question? Just load up on cheap, cost controlled position players and leverage them via trade or salary flexibility for pitching?

It may not mean, for example, that the organization has done a poor job of drafting or developing its pitchers. I’d be interested in knowing if other organizations have experienced a similar disparity between its pitchers and hitters.
