Since I'm bored at the moment...

Last season, I had two pull hitting lefties (Klein and McGriff) that hit .265 and .287, which considering their ratings, was normal for them. This year, I have two different ones (Ashburn and Fox) who are hitting .319 and .316. These are the only pull hitting lefties I had playing much so I'm not leaving out examples who didn't hit well.

This league has multiple who are hitting well, like Matt Carpenter who's an extreme pull hitter and has only a 54 contact and yet he's hitting .311. Juan Soto is hitting .291 which is about what one would expect for him as well. There are others too, so I don't see any point in checking further.

Edit: Also, someone from the other thread where this was mentioned gave other examples. Really, I don't see any evidence for this "theory".
