I wrote this in the patch thread but thought I should create a separate post.

I've run a number of 300+ season tests to check splits and still see some issues post-patch. Here are the normalized OPS results I'm getting in OOTP versus real-life MLB numbers from the 1980s (I chose 80s because my leagues roughly replicate that era):

R vs R
Real-life = .684
OOTP = .702
dif = 17.8 points

R vs L
Real-life = .729
OOTP = .730
dif = 1.0 points

L vs R
Real-life = .735
OOTP = .729
dif = -6.4 points

L vs L
Real-life = .663
OOTP = .670
dif = 7.3 points

Summary
Right handed hitters are still doing far too well against right handed pitchers which is skewing overall results. An easy way to check this is to look at your career OPS leaderboard and you'll notice a lot of righty hitters at the top of the list.

Left handed hitters are close but might need to be tweaked as well. I realize 6 or 7 points in OPS is not a lot, but it's consistently off about that much in every test I've run over millions of plate appearances.
