Whatever the offensive context of your league is, Devers is a below average hitting 1st baseman. That’s kind of the definition of replacement level, yeah. Here it’s not even so much that you can find guys in AAA who will put up numbers like that (although I’m guessing there are several minor league 1B who can post a 98 OPS+ in the majors), it’s that the position is so easy to fill that you can basically take whoever your worst fielder is on your team who can still hit and they can probably put up numbers similar to that.

That said, you have some very high offensive levels if an 803 OPS is only worth a 98. That’s going to be why it “feels” so out of place. That’s year 2000 level offense.
