Likewise, are any of the components of batting ratings affected (speed, baserunning etc)?

I know the math may be difficult, but I personally prefer to know what I am getting for my PP. The game has become more transparent about the 'hidden card ratings' such as BABIP, but unfortunately some aspects of the Combinator release are opaque.

Thanks
The speed ratings are not impacted by combinator levels.

For defense, due to the nature of its calculation and in-game use, it's not broken down in the same way as the other ratings. Some rare defensive performance is not impacted, like sometimes we may use a players' infield range value to decide which base to throw to on a groundball. However the overall defensive performance (in terms of converting hits to outs, or checking OF arm values on plays at the plate, for example) will play at the adjusted levels.
