By "real life" here, you mean modern MLB. Sabermetrics is unenthusiastic about "small ball" tactics in many (not all) game situations because of how the math works out
in the modern game. If you're trying to simulate 100 years ago--or just a different world where baseball is played differently--small ball could be huge.
OOTP should certainly
allow for game environments in which tactical baserunning is important, and modeled well.
