Not every hit is right at the outfielder.
I don't play out my games, so I can't say whether or not this is a problem. But assuming that slow runner should rarely advance two bases on a hit to left is a little naive. Every base hit is not the same, nor does OOTP differentiate between the nearly countless types of hits (bloops, line drives, balls in the gap, balls right at an outfielder, 50 hoppers through the hole, etc.). That's one of the reasons I don't play out games. I'd like to see more variety in how hits are described.
Plus, remember that it's not just the player's speed rating that determines if he advances two bases. He might have a low speed rating, but a high baserunning rating, which means he gets good jumps and reads balls well.
