League average is about 1.2 HR/9. So this guy is not *dramatically* better than average, but noticeably so - despite a movement rating that is definitely worse than average.

I'm in Challenge mode, so I can't turn on Commish mode, but I'd be surprised if the issue is scouting error - unless scouting error is systematically greater for pitchers' movement ratings than any other rating, which I'm ready to believe given how much slippage there can be between this particular rating and its associated stat, even over the long run.
