Hi Guys,

I come from a Strat-O-Matic background where lefty/ righty splits present themselves on the advanced side of the batter/ pitcher cards...

I can instantly view and judge, for instance, that 1964 Johnny Callison is a much better hitter vs. lefty pitchers, than the Cardinals, Bill White.

In OOTP I'm using the real life batter splits in my '64 replay... I'm struggling to interpolate and process the significance of White's OOTP numbers vs. Callison's numbers and how they translate...

I'm using the 1-100 rating system, BTW.

I'm just confused by the numbers. White's & Callison's RL 1964 stat numbers are as follows:

White vs. LHP: .219 AVE; .266 OBA; .307 SLG; .573 OPS
Callison vs. LHP: .280 AVE; .326 OBA; .492 SLG; 818 OPS

Here are the OOTP rating split numbers vs. a LHP:

White: 54 CON; 56 GAP; 48 POW; 37 EYE; 44 AVOID K'S
Callison: 62 CON; 52 GAP; 73 POW; 37 EYE; 62 AVOID K'S

Is there a simple way to look at the OOTP ratings and draw a rough comparision between 2 players?

Looking at real life L/R splits it's easy to see the difference.

For me, anyway, if I view the OOTP ratings, I can see that Callison is a better hitter vs. lefties, but I don't see that he's a much better hitter than White vs. LHP.

I've only been playing the game for the past 6 months, so perhaps things will start to add up after awhile...

Any help or thoughts are appreciated!

Jack
