Despite displaying otherwise, it's my very strong opinion that the new 'leadoff' skill does NOT work in WoH. Maybe it's the way WoH is structured(no batting order), but it appears to work just fine in CvC. I recently had the skills of my custom player changed to 2x leadoff and now, I'm hoping that I can get it changed back to 2x late innings. Disappointing would be quite the understatement.

TBH, the skill that bugs me is the "first pitch" skill. As a baseball fan, having a skill labelled "first pitch" active in events where the count is either 3-0 or 3-2 drives me crazy. I know I should be happy this works in my favor, but I like baseball and this just makes zero sense LOL
Glu's refusal to tell us how these skills work in specific events is ridiculous. Promoting discussion is one thing, but it's an unsolvable riddle in many cases. Nobody knows if RISP, Runners on, First pitch, etc., "turn off" or not. It's unknown and unknowable. That's just disingenuous on Glu's part--making us pay for resources because we think we know how the game works, but really don't.
Anecdotally, I'm pretty sure Runners On does turn off. Eddie Mathews consistently dominated until he mashed a bases clearing homerun, at which point the hits didn't come as readily. That said, maybe it was just predestined to be a failed round. We don't know. Which is my point.

edit: the fact that I've requested a change away from what is, on paper, the best skill set for an atg is my way of putting my money where my mouth is.
