I made a base line of every season from 1950 to 2021 for what averages were for every stat and averaged that out.
for each player the stats were based off of their 7 year peak, so the major league totals of the 7 years peak were normalized against the base line i made. and then those were used to normalize the player's stats of that peak. Then those stats were further translated looking at road and home splits against lefty and righty.
it was a bit convoluted. there's no perfect way to do this obviously as we never would know how 150 years of players would perform against each other but i was pretty happy with those results and would adjust as i thought needed for some players.
