Created YAML profiles for 4 remaining custom batters (Sphealthamus Spheal, Luan Arroto, Will The Thrill, Valerie Theolia) as part of the pd-cards CLI refactor. Each profile contains positions, baserunning, and ratings (108.0 total per split). The original scripts used BatterArchetype calculator with randomization - YAML profiles need manual OPS calibration to match targets. Key insight: ratings must sum to exactly 108.0 for both vs_L and vs_R splits.
