Well, I'm coming at this from a slightly different angle...
My '69 roster set was a breeze because from '69 onwards, Retrosheet provides lefty/righty splits. I just banged these in, used the park factors to alter them to get a L/R adjusted singles/hr/doubles/bb/k stats for '69.
I then entered these in OOTP5, where the game asks for stats per 550 ABS. I then converted these into OOTP6.
You'll notice pitchers is absent from this. The conversion from OOTP5 to 6 screws up pitchers no end, so I had to tinker with some of these (but most were fine).
However, these days, its even easier. Jayzone has created a rating translator which translates ratings into stats. Working backwards from that, you should be fine. If you were creating a roster with ZiPS or PECOTA projections, that would be aces.
On defense, I use (what I think was) either Darkhorse's or Holyroller's strategy, which is using BP's Rate stats. I can't remember the formula, but it was pretty good.
