I haven’t seen that in any league I’ve done tbh and the only places I’ve seen it are when people go into the editor and give pitchers obscenely high ratings on two pitches. Like, yes, if you give a guy a 150 fastball and a 150 change, he’s going to wind up with 200+ Stuff as a reliever and that in turn is going to make him strike out insane numbers of hitters.

Not saying that’s what you’re doing but that’s the environment I’ve seen that occur.
