There are plenty of outliers, I named one in Joe Mauer. I'm just saying that conceptually it is impossible to do something in your stadium to make only lefthanded hitters hit worse. You can make it so hitting the ball to right field is worse. There shouldn't be any stadium settings besides field dimensions, fence height and aesthetics. A lefty hitting the ball to left field should be no different than a righty hitting the ball to left field, but right now you can make it so there is a 20%+ difference just by manually entering some settings on your park factors.
