Yes, results are determined by the plate appearance, but my understanding is that, in a certain sense, they are still determined pitch-by-pitch. I've never seen a detailed explanation from OOTP Developments on how it all works, but I suspect that OOTP just uses its computational ability to do all the calculations and determine the potential outcomes in advance, based on the potential inputs and choices by the user or AI. Once that input or choice has been made, then it determines which of those pre-calculated results will come into play. So, it's not true pre-determination: it's pre-calculation.

Lukas Berger has confirmed in the past that results are determined by plate appearance and not pitch-by-pitch, and he has also said that "the overall game results are not predetermined in the least."
