The Reds test isn't the only good one. The "best" comparison is the aggregate of all 5, because that's more of what you'd face in a season.

Anyway I'll try to emphasize again that the switch-hitting Josh Bell is outpeforming himself -- the same Josh Bell with the same ratings -- as either a RHB or LHB.

As CBeisbol is rightly inferring, this means that switch-hitters get their real-life platoon advantage in MLB, and their ratings come into OOTP accordingly. They then get an extra platoon advantage in OOTP because pitchers have their own splits.

Platoon advantage all-around is probably better in OOTP than real life, because the batters and pitchers both have splits, doubling the overall effect. Unless each batter and pitcher split effect is "halved"? I dunno.

Anyway, maybe this is hard to explain. I tried the best I could. I'm not advocating for a change or anything, just found it interesting that switch-hitters are a bit better than expected by their ratings.
