Well, if by "very good" you mean "exist," then yes, Negro League stats are very good. Anyone can go to BBRef and Seamheads and look at NeL players and stats.* That doesn't mean that they're accurate. They're as accurate as researchers can currently get them, but they're not accurate in the way that MLB stats are accurate. We have box scores for every single MLB game ever played. In contrast, there were some seasons of the NeL where they couldn't even agree on which team won the pennant. For OOTP purposes, however, I'd say the individual stats are good enough.
*BTW the stats on BBRef and Seamheads don't even match because the sites use different criteria.
