Do player hit worse when out of defensive position, cause I'm trying to play him at catcher and I played him during spring training where he got injured several times (one day absences mostly). I don't see how any of those things can affect a hitter so much though

Your guy has a history of hitting righties, so he is probably fine, but I have more talented guys than that who have severe splits. Cunningham can't hit righties to save his life. Izquierdo can't hit righties or lefties. So I'm guessing he probably only hits switch pitchers well.
