The results of every batter/pitcher confrontation starts with the overall settings of your replay. By that I mean, if you have chosen to have the historical settings for each season imported, a Ruth/Johnson confrontation set in 1964 will resemble a Koufax/Killebrew battle. If it is set in 1916, it will resemble a Home Run Baker/young pitcher Babe Ruth confrontation.

Similarly, for your last question, Pud Galvin versus Josh Hamilton would depend on the historic year of the confrontation.
You just summed up exactly why I love OOTP so much. Random debut has become my favorite way to play and it's what you said in your post that makes it such a cool feature.
