Of course there's going to be some variation. I know that. I'm fine with that. But leaguewide BABIP is ALWAYS in the .292-.305 range. Since Forever. It doesn't jump to .325 for a full season by random variation. And at the same time, it doesn't go from .325 down to .270 the following year on random variation. Something is screwed up there, obviously.
To answer your question though, both times that I ran auto-calc BABIP was in the mid .290s on the league settings/modifier screen at all points. It has adjusted a little bit after running auto calc. before each of the opening days, but it never visibly showed anything that was clearly insane in the league settings screen. It was always in the .290s..... which makes my situation all the more bizarre.
Here are a few pics. You'll see how my 2023 season reallllllly went haywire with big BABIP compared to MLB history. I'm not yet finished with my 2024 season, so best I can do is show a 2nd picture here and you'll see how BABIP did a complete flip flop.
I don't know what happened here. Something obviously is screwy. When league wide BABIP is normally in the .295 range, you don't just randomly jump to .325 for a full season on a complete whim only to then drop to .273 the very following season...... As a very long time OOTP customer, this year's version is the only time I have ever run auto-calc. And needless to say, it will be the last time. Obviously it works for a lot of you - that's awesome. Did I screw something up? I don't know. But I can say for a fact that I was operating off of instructions that other users gave me saying to run auto calc only on opening day when the opening day rosters are set and before the first game. That's exactly what I did. I didn't manually tweak anything. I've never been a fan of manual tweaks, I feel like it's cheating the system. So I just let the engine do its thing, but man...... something got jacked up on my end, obviously.

How in the world did you BA come out exactly as IRL every year? Mine is always off by .2 or .3% or more every year up to 3%.
Fielding REALLY baffles me. Does that mean you have zero errors for all those years?
