Unless something has changed OOTP has code so some batters do have more success against some pitchers, and vise versa. I'm don't recall if it was pitcher/batter types or individuals? Like many OOTP things under the hood, it may be small, but it is there. Again unless something has changed.
This is something that was talked about a very long time ago. Could be it was even v6.5 and before. Long enough ago I couldn't really say.
If that were to have changed the removed batter v pitcher information still did provide immersion, and would be nice to have again. IMHO.
