Apparently a lot more goes into Platoon Splits than I was aware, as indicated in Markus' post:
What is the best way to view the statistics within OOTP in order to figure out how to Platoon Split your team? This seems like quite a complicated subject.

You don't have to make it that complicated, though.
For instance let's say a player is 60-60-60 overall. He could be 59-57-56 vs LHH and 63-62-62 vs RHH. I don't necessarily care what his arm slot or his pitches is, all the information is right there in the ratings.
The arm slot and pitches might explain why he has a platoon split, or why it's more/less exaggerated with specific players. In terms of how you evaluate players, you really only need to look at the ratings. From that perspective nothing changes from OOTP 18.
And even if a RHP has atypical splits, and is weaker vs a RHH, he'll still have a natural advantage over the RHH, in that RHH generally are weaker vs RHP.
