Whether or not the game is handling this differently for purely fictional players I do not know.

it makes sense as to why for historical i suppose, but it is a bit frustrating from a managerial standpoint. a 7 contact vs L as an RHB and a 7 contact vs L as an LHB should mean the same thing if facing a pitcher with splits that are the same vs R and L (obviously theres some give for the range of a 7 for the batter) otherwise it is really difficult to make a decision on whether to pinch hit or not.
There shouldn't be background calculations you need to take into account.
Unless i am misunderstanding what you are saying in terms of historical split ratings. But a 7 should mean a 7 for the batter if the pitcher you're facing has identical splits against RHB and LHB.
I have made historical leagues where i've recreated every single player by hand with splits for both pitchers and batters. obviously it cant be perfect because these are hand done and not exactly the way the game makes players, but the stats come out pretty decently for these. I am sure it is more complex from the game's perspective but it feels like it can be done to properly represent splits. but again what i feel, and reality are two different things lol.
I don't play the games historical all that much so it isn't a big focus of mine, im moreso hoping to see the changes in fictional long term which it sounds like may be addressed.
