Default Math Question for anyone EXCEPT Ganch...

Say you have two baseball hitters: Batter A and Batter B.

Batter A has a higher batting average against right-handed pitchers.

Batter A has a higher batting average against left-handed pitchers.

Is it possible that Batter B has a better overall batting average than Batter A?
