I mostly just use the AI setup for this as it usually gets things right based on stats.

One tip I can add to the other advice: watch for heavy platoon splits on some guys.

I had one reliever I inherited when I started this team that the "bench coach" kept setting up as a "LOOGY." I wasn't sure why as he seemed pretty good overall, but then after a few weeks I looked at his ratings and found this:

Vs. RH: 60 stuff, 60 movement, 25 control
Vs. LH: 85 stuff, 85 movement, 30 control (!)

I had mostly been using him against lefty "patches" in lineups already but now I really will be careful against the righties with him.

Turns out he's a sidearmer. Watch for this especially; sidearmers tend to have heavy platoon factors.

I just checked out Carson Smith, a guy I've always liked as a player IRL. He is 45/55/45 versus lefties and 60/70/55 against righties.

Darren O'Day's splits are insane. 50/35/45 and 75/55/55. That's practically a "ROOGY."

BTW you will often get a hint about this in the scouting report ("may have trouble getting lefties/righties out").
