But, based on BA, it seems the problem hits all the minor leagues about equally.

If my theory has any validity, the low BA is strictly due to the humongous number of strikeouts, and the BABIP is about where it should be. And in the 1870s even the major leaguers have extremely low stuff ratings. You should get the same results in the majors if you use a one man rotation and the generated schedules, although possibly fictional players have ratings that are a little bit higher than the historical major leaguers did. (All of the 1871 historical major leaguers have stuff ratings between 1 and 3 on a 100 point scale.)
