Bob Feller will have a value there as a player who needed the new rating to better achieve their historical norms.
I would not get hung up on what the editor is saying. Regardless of what it is saying, having no added value should be resulting in average performance for your league regarding fictional leagues. They have mentioned visiting this for fictional players in the future, but right now it is just applied to specific historical players. Changing this value for fictional players will increase the performance of those players, but will have unintended consequences for the statistical output of the other players in that league.

Has Nolan Ryan been tested in historical games? Because he seems like exactly a player the game would underrate and then assign a BABIP rating to to make up for it.
