This is the kind of feature that looks like it would be difficult to put together a good study on, because it requires manually tracking play-by-play data which the game's database doesn't compile right now. To get a large enough sample size to be meaningful, someone's going to have to spend *a lot* of time going through game logs ...

I looked at outs in the examination I linked above, and I looked at something that can be connected with hits - outfield assists:

Outs did not seem to show any influence from the hitter type rating, but hits (or at least outfield assists) definitely appeared to be affected by hitter type. I would be interested to know the rough distribution of direction of hits/outs by hitter type. I think that can be obtained by experiments and analysis like those I have linked.
I completely agree ratings should determine performance, but it does seem that there should be a correlation of some degree where the hitters with greater power talent/ratings will tend to be more likely to be pull hitters. That is already the case in the game, at least I think.
