Split Sliders

It occurs to me that player strategy sliders really ought to be be split for handedness.

An especially splitty pitcher isn't going to attack lefties and righties the same way, and having a universal set of sliders really undercuts our impact on their effectiveness.

Lets say that you have a lefty that kills lefties but is prone to giving up taters to righties, you'd have him attack the zone against LHB but nibble and pitch around righties a lot more cautiously.

I'd like to see that reflected in the game if possible!

It’s a good suggestion. I’ve wondered about that. But then I’m a platoon guy, who always consults the BNN page for L/R matchups, for hitters and pitchers. I treasure “situational lefties” in the bullpen, and have high movement “situational righties” as well. Mostly in historical leagues, there are screwball pitchers who flip the script. But yes, most guys would approach lefties and righties with a different strategy.
