I used data from pages like this from Baseball Reference: 2011 National League PH/HR/Situ Hitting. It shows how many opportunities each batter in a season had to hit into a DP and their number of DPs. Then I moved it into an Excel file.
Left handed batters have a * after their names while switch hitters have a # (I did not look at switch hitters). The command I used to separate out the different type of hitters was =ISNUMBER(SEARCH(G2,F2)). It will say if the cell contains * or #. If it does it gives TRUE. If not, FALSE. Then I can sort and separate all of those and then get totals for opportunities and DPs.
The table below shows the rates for each league for all years from 2011-2022 except 2020, the shortened Covid season.
