I remember playing with the 1980(?) Orioles and Kenny Singleton had hit 29 HR IRL. At the all-star break for me he had 2. This is probably the biggest outlier I ever had. That season I never finished. Nothing to do with Singleton being so far off. It just came as I was trying to squeeze in one more season with that year's cards before the bug to play Strat Football came calling in the fall.
In short, while Strat was a great game, I never got the extreme accurate results I see so many say they got. I've never played on computer but did wonder if they fixed this issue of P or Batter card? I know when I got advertisements from them about going computer it said you still played with the cards. So no?

Not to turn this into a strat discussion, but I found strat to be very accurate. As to your Duane Kuiper situation, if you were playing any level above the basic game, that couldn't happen, because Kuiper would have a W for power, and any HR rolled on the pitcher's card would automatically become a Single**.
As for Singleton, that just seems like a crazy, one in a million outlier. It happens.
