I think anybody playing the game knows that actual performance doesn't exactly match what ratings would predict. But the larger the sample size, the more regression to the mean there is. So there is a specific amount of contact (with a small influence from power) that would give an expected value of .300 BA. In fact, the game shows expected results in the editor.
Likewise, there should be a defensive rating that would be most likely to give a 0 ZR in an average environment. Though one of the factors is how good the other defenders at the position around the league are, so even a certain level of success would give a different result depending on the rest of the league.
I'd suggest browsing through ZR stats around the league in a player search at the end of a season to give an idea of where the break even point seems to be.
