I have noticed at least 1 significant difference between Baseball Reference adjusted stats and OOTP in game “Real Life Stats”

Daryle Ward has a career -4.5 WAR and 95 OPS+ on Baseball Reference, but on OOTP he has 8.6 WAR and 107 OPS+

Does OOTP use a different formula for WAR and OPS+ than Baseball Ref? It would appear so, does anybody know what the difference specifically is/where they pull it from? Fangraphs?

Also - for a recalc league, I would assume the game will follow the OOTP stats, not the BBRef stats. Does anybody have any experience with this?

Thanks!
