Hi Fellas,

Thanks for the replies. I should have been more clear. In the past, OOTP imported players with a random lefty/righty split. But many OOTPers chose not to use that. The program read the left-handed player's stats and actually gave an unfair inflation to a lefty's ability against righties, failing to take into account some mathematical issue. So, the left hander who hit .275 against righties in real life would be assigned a rating allowing him to hit .300 against righties.

Editing some lefties I seemed to notice the same problem. Thanks again for the replies.
