Against lefties he hit an amazing .192 with a spectacular .272 OBP (47 games). So you can clearly see why the Tigers platooned him with Rajai Davis playing against lefties. Strat will rate him accordingly. OOTP will assign him random splits, so there's no guaranty he will be so awful against pitchers that throw with the wrong arm. Hope that makes sense.
All my players are fictional so I can only assume their ratings determine the splits which by my analysis are accurate via statistical output , therefore, not generic. Picking nits I know, but when comparing games we should consider a new player may be mislead by incorrect claims that something works only one way.
