Right

The switch hitting effect is compounded. And probably should be reported as a bug.

Suppose two real life hitters both hit for an .850 OPS (imagine they were on the same team, faced the same opponents in the same stadiums, etc) and had the same left/right splits. We'd say they were equal hitters. And should have equal ratings.

However, if one were a switch-hitter, and the other not, the switch hitter would outperform the other hitter in OOTP.

The platoon advantage is already "baked in" to the real life stats that produced the ratings. But OOTP is adding that platoon advantage again to the stats produced by the game. The platoon advantage is being double counted.

Excellent find, Argonaut
