I think the
bumping up, if it occurs, is to make possible, for example, a guy who batted 0-for-8 with 7 strikeouts to actually make contact and get a hit once in awhile. Not to turn him into a .300 hitter, but maybe a .180 or .200 one. That's my guess; I don't know for sure.
And I don't believe it would apply to pitchers, at least not to a large extent. There's no reason to bump up or down a pitcher with, say, 40 at bats. Even if he's a .300 hitter OOTP is not going to use him more than IRL (like it would an un-adjusted hitter) because his pitching role & ratings will dictate how much he plays. That he doesn't play the field will keep him from getting 300+ at bats. At least that's my understanding.
