Contact is above 70 for 7 of the 9, with most having solid Avoid K (three below 55, rest above 70).

Against RHP, your 1B, DH, and most of your C, 3B, LF, RF should either be in a platoon or should naturally crush RHP. That means 80+ CON, 80+ GAP/60+ POW, and ideally 60+ EYE. Carew, McCovey, Bottomley, maybe a Dixie Walker type, or more expensive like Special Goose Goslin or Norm Cash are good examples. Also keep in mind that the RvR matchup favors the pitcher, and actually makes their stats better, so lefties and switch hitters get even better than they would otherwise be.
Basically, there's a reason that full lefty is the most popular OL build at high levels.
