For my 1936 here were the top 5 for HR:
Dwight Evans 34
Jack Clark 32

Right your issue is tying random debut to the 1930's.
The game generates stats based on the league modifiers, in this case using 1936 in your game when home runs were rather low by modern standards. In a real historical game there were few guys hitting home runs, so their is more of a chance Jimmy Foxx, Dimmagio, Greenberg will get the homers available because their are few others to hit them.'
With something like a random debut, even fictional for that matter, there will be far more better rated home run hitters than existed at taht time, but the game is still looking to put in only 1936 amount of homers.
Your choices are know it and be ok with it, or mentally let go of "1936" and made the modifiers more modern-like, and they you will see what you would think of as more likely numbers for the players
