Ah, understood. I have seen very narrow splits for RP (typically LHP) who were known to be used against same-handed hitters, and had stats to prove they were effective this way (and far less effective versus opposite-handed hitters). The OOTP ratings did not reflect that.

Of course, this was before the idiotic "must face three hitters" rule, that effectively doomed "situational lefties" (and "situational righties", for that matter). This stupid rule makes it all too easy to pinch-hit for the second or third batter that RP "must" face. Implementing a needless change to (supposedly) speed up the game, without thinking through the impact on strategy and careers, is irresponsible and damaging to the game.
