So, thinking about this a bit more because my sense, too, is that there are too many infield hits... I think the issue is that pretty much whenever an infielder loses a range check, the end result is an IF hit. I think that a lot of those - perhaps the majority - should get past the infielder and into the outfield. They don't need to be extra base hits or first-to-third types but yeah... the "shortstop eats a grounder" play does seem to happen too often, whereas what I think you'd really see is "the shortstop dives at a ball that still gets past him into left" or "the shortstop gets a bad jump and it just gets past him into the hole".
I do appreciate that when OOTP started tracking where hits were, this data wasn't widely available, and putouts, assists, etc. don't appear to be crazy off, so this is kind of cosmetic, but yeah... teams average around 125 a year and IME it's probably closer to 200 or so.
