In 2004, Ichiro hit .372 (262 H, 704 AB). Put differently, he averaged about 44 hits (and 117 ABs) each month. If in OOTP (or another text sim), Ichiro averages about 47 hits per month, his BA will be .398. If he averages about 41 hits per month, his BA will be .347. There is, in fact, a good possibility that -- by random chance -- Ichiro will hit .398 or .347. In other words, it doesn't take much variance to produce a BA 25 points higher or lower than IRL. If a text sim does not produce this kind of variance with hitters, it probably is fudging the numbers.
