I know hitting 60 is a marvelous feat but I feel like there should be a few more hitting 60 in that time frame and maybe a 70+ home run hitter. Well my question is, is there anyway to create more outliers? I would like to imagine more super stars in the league.
If you want more outliers enhance individual players based on some formula at player creation and/or in early development. This is often done in online leagues so perhaps a commish can comment on a formula of rating boosts

FWIW I'm glad fictional leagues do not have more outliers. I want them to mimic the era I choose.

By definition outliers should be rare ie 1-2 in 50-100 seasons. Too many just means they are not outliers any more.

See the screenshot. This guy was a knuckleballer. I wouldn't want to see two more of them. Note he was game produced, no enhancements at all.

Having said all that it would be cool if the devs could have an optional "outlier module" for just what you want.
