You seemingly didn't read my entire comment about Whitaker, or that quote about Whitaker or accurately understand them if you did.
That extra 25 points in batting averages comes
solely from Alomar playing in an era in which batting averages and runs scored in general were higher.
Whitaker's OPS+ is actually a point higher than Alomar's indicating that when the context of their careers is taken into account, Whitaker was the better hitter.
