Let me be more exemplary for you even though I already found the answer from data - if a cap is introduced into this equation and hitters face the same pitchers then the question is how it effects the output? E.g.:
//Power and HRs are distributed based on exponential function// - a hitter nr.1 with power rating 100 will hit 125 homers
- a hitter nr.2 with power rating 80 will hit 64 homers
- a hitter nr.3 with power rating 60 will hit 27 homers
-> in one season they produce all together 216HRs.
If the cap is introduced to 100HRs in total then there are three (to simplify) possible outcomes: - winner takes it all and as such the best hitter hits 100HRs others 0
- all hitters share the decrease in linear proportion: nr.1 hits 57; nr.2 hits 30; nr.3 hits 13
- decrease of the hits is based on the function: nr.1 hits 65; nr.2 hits 27; nr. 3 hits 8

You can play around with this concept by cranking up a new league in the base game, choose a year for totals and set your league total modifiers, then fire up the sim module and look at the resulting stats from that. Change league totals and/or modifiers, rinse and repeat, then compare results.
