Personally, I've done a ton of historical sims and he'll always have a ton of power (usually most in the league) because they game sees the Victoria part as 34 AAA homers (the game lists him as AAA, so just slightly worse then MLB) in 500 at bats. It's enough to avoid being weakened, so the O. Swain is a juiced up power hitter as I'm guessing there is no one even near that HR/PA in the early 1900s. His pure home run power rating is likely so much higher then the next best that literally every home run (at least statistically) would likely be hit by him.
