I was testing some fielding results and I have a save of a 1954-2019 replay using real lineups and transactions.

Piazza
Real: 23% of 1756 attempts and -60 ZR
OOTP: 26% of 1469 attempts and +3 ZR

Rodriguez
Real: 46% of 1447 attempts and +169 ZR
OOTP: 35.8% of 1659 attempts and +43.9 ZR

I want to see the difference between them be more than this, but if everyone else is fine with this then we should keep things the way they are. According to baseball reference there is about a 229 difference in runs saved between them and in OOTP it is a mere 40 runs saved, but I think OOTP might not be calculating ZR correctly for catchers for some reason.

If you are wondering about real plays made, Piazza was -15 errors, +11 passed balls, and -141 caught stealing. Rodriguez was +4 errors, +37 passed balls, and +221 caught stealing. On these plays Piazza was a total of 145 plays below average and Rodriguez was 262 plays above average.

If strong catcher arm ratings resulted in more caught stealing that would also decrease the caught stealing from catchers with weaker catcher arm ratings and the caught stealing results may turn out better.
