It would be nice to be a bit more explicit there, agreed. It's more a factor that that's not exactly how the engine handles those pieces - the batting elements makes much more explicit use of the league totals, whereas the other pieces rely entirely on the strategy and modifiers. Not to mention that the further out items are, the more variable they are. In that, the league rate of SF will obviously heavily depend on how many runners reach base. If your league is running hot offensively, you're going to have more runners on 3rd and more chances at SF. So some of those pieces are just too dependent on other factors to really "deserve" their own league totals value.

How about instead of a league total, it’s made as a strategy setting.
I just want a way to play historical and have the IBB’s reflected better.

I admit putting it as a league total would likely play havoc with the game engine.
