I've seen them in our online league, which is 60 years into the future. And some with the potential to be all stars at either pitching or as a hitter. I haven't seen many try to use them at all though.

I like the feature as it at least gives the opportunity to in other eras (1920s and earlier) to use pitchers in the field since there were some who were decent hitters.

Adding the functionality for Ohtani basically brought with it the functionality to have the AI cope with players who weren't black-and-white pitcher or hitter.

If you look behind the code of any baseball game, you're going to see things in there written to assume that a player is a pitcher or a player is a batter and there's no grey area. Now OOTP has a little less of that.
