In all cases, the first season produced normal stats but from 2018 on, pitching stats improved greatly at all minor league levels. In some leagues, the batting stats showed very little change like I showed above, but in others home runs dropped quite a bit.
The suggestion to auto-calc modifiers on opening day seems to work, but it bounces back to the weird pitching stats the next season unless I do this again, and it is a real pain to have to do that for all the minor leagues every year...

Blech, musta missed that post above... nevermind, but leaving for future searches with similar problems:
a note onthat: i noticed a very low era resulting from a really high slash line, and I thought auto-calc fixed the elevated DP (i didn't dig deeper, just saw they were about +25-33% for my league) ... auto-calcing did fix this problem, though... i thought. limited playing on '18 so far. 5-7 seasons of dinking around not running a team.
------------------
auto-calc doesn't happen on it's own... you likely have "1.000" LTM? even if not, they are clearly bad LTM in year 1, relative to what you want.
if you hit autocalc, there's almost no way this could happen normally.
make sure you are not importing historical stuff and unclick automatically autocalc if that is checked. do it manually on occasion... for a test after unchecking these thigns, zoom out to next year, don't auto-calc and see what happens.
Also, do not base anythign on april -june or july... sim the whole season out. if you used 1month or even 3 mnths of stats, it's mostly useless info. even a year you should expect a bit of deviation from those League totals.
e.g. i have a 40 T league, 6500hr/year (roughly proportionate per AB to modern default, if i recall). that value, with non-changing LTM, will have a range of results of about 1200 (5900ish-7100ish).
i only say that in case perception is off a bit... if it's still extreme like you decribed in the original post, that's different. if it's just off a bit, that's actually perfectly okay.
with modern defense (~984-985 fld% and good dp LTM etc etc) i can give you an estimate for a slash i am familar with and ~era that results... ~4.10 from anything near .258/.319/.404... which again will range from ~3.90-4.30, even if you keep all settings and LTM/LT the same depending on numerous factors.
