Is there a way to change "batted ball tendency"? It affects the game more than you think.

So I take part in a league where we use OOTP21 as a sim engine for our players we all create individually. So for example I have created an outfielder named Jody Quinn and play for a team called the State College Swift Steeds, and every week I do tasks to improve my player in various ways.

Anyways, that's not the point of this post, the point is that in our league "Fly ball" tendency hitters seem to get a significant advantage, despite having the exact same attributes. Here are some of the results of the simulation module, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...84/unknown.png, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...97/unknown.png, and if you say sample size is the issue, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...72/unknown.png it's not.

These players are identical save https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...60/unknown.png save for one detail, one is a flyball tendency hitter and one is a groundball tendency hitter. Is there a way to fix this and have all hitters have the same tendency? Are some players just born to be bad? All sources I have seen thus far suggest the FB/GB/Normal/LD tendency does not matter, but they clearly do. In every test the flyball tendency fares much better; they record more HRs, more BBs and less Ks.

Please if anyone has an idea or potential solution please comment!
