Let me state this differently:

If I change the settings, the league totals will change (presumably downward, to lower the .400 hitting). But the league totals are fine. Nothing is out of line. Team BAs range from .240 to .290 and the league hits around .265 to .270. Most teams have ERAs in the 4.00s, averaging around 4.50. So its not the settings, I don't think.

What I've been getting is an extraordinary crop of .400 hitters in a standard population of players. In mathematical terms, I've got a Bell curve with long tail toward the great BA hitter (and not HR hitters).

PItching is OK, perhaps not as many stars as I'm used to seeing, but the overall is right on line.

I've just never had a crop of players like this before.
