If I got results like that from OOTP I would be screaming in disgust at the unrealistic stat production.
I shake my head at the k leaderboard as well, but look at wins:

1. Cy Young 511
2. Walter Johnson 417
3. Pete Johnson/Mathewson 373

94 wins (20 a year for 5 years) between 1st and 2nd. 138 wins between 1st and 3rd (9 more wins then Pat Hentgen for his career.)
