We definitely need to continue research here... Just poking around I found that Gavvy Cravath, who retired in 1920, hit only four of his 119 homers ISTP. Babe Ruth hit an ISTPer for career homer number 21, then didn't hit another until career HR 225, and then hit 8 more up through age 34.

Roger Connor hit 17 of 138 ISTP. Dan Brouthers 17 of 106. Sam Thompson 13 of 126. So there were definitely some big sluggers who were well below the era average.

There is some variation by player type and park we should eventually try to capture. But I don't think that should stop us/Markus from implementing a "good enough" solution for now.
