Now I know, but I don't think that's a valid method. That weighting seems to be based on a rough estimate of the number of right-handed vs. left-handed pitchers in today's MLB and not on historical numbers or on each OOTP league individually, how many righties and lefties are in our league, what their roles are, and the estimated number of plate appearances a player might get against pitchers of each hand.
In the end, now I see how this is being calculated, although I disagree with the method.

The game does its calculations for game play based on the L rating when the pitcher is a L and the R rating when the pitcher is a R. The Overall rating is NEVER used in the game. There's no need to adopt any of the more accurate methods you suggest to calculate overall.
