Because if the game’s real stats feature, by definition, doesn’t neutralize player’s stats for era and ballpark when setting up the their ratings for the sim, wouldn’t that be the case?

I think the easiest way to find that out is to create a 1941 save and a 2019 with the desired settings and then to manually inspect the ratings of Feller & Berrios.

Because you are correct IF 'real stats' don't neutralize for era and ballpark then it logically follows that Feller's K rate in 1941 will pale in comparison to most pitchers in the modern era.
