So many home runs

Matt Snyder of the New York Yankees, in 2017. 65 home runs!!!

Has anyone seen more than this from a real player in the quickstart? Being a lefty at Yankee stadium helped him a TON. He hit 29 home runs in 190 at bats against righties at home, and hit 40 total at home compared to 25 on the road in about the same amount of at bats. The next closest in the majors was his teammate Giancarlo Stanton, who hit 43 after a midseason trade. In 62 games with Miami he hit 13, then hit 30 in 80 games for New York, including 25 in his first 50 with them.

Wow.

Did you edit him at all? I can't imagine how his ratings got that good, his potentials aren't even close to that good in the roster set. If you didn't edit him he must've gotten a ton of boosts.

What are his ratings in the editor?

Nope, I have a pretty strict no editing rule placed on myself. The only exceptions are suspension length, and maybe some defensive experience for a few old players on other teams so some players don't get buried with only 5 at bats a year.

His ratings are
70 BABIP
162 Avoid K's
for a 139 Contact
107 Gap
206 Power (Wow!)
129 Eye
The predicted result is 53 HRs. Put him in Yankee Stadium, and this happens.

My player development report shows him getting 10 potential power in 2015, and hitting the 10 in 2016. It was pretty gradual overall.

Edit: He had 29 HRs in just his first 52!! games

It can make some cool things happen, I'll tell you that. And some sad things, such as Byron Buxton turning into a flaming bust for me..

. I also kept the TCR at the default 100.

On the topic of home runs i had a guy in my fictional league break the home run record that had stood for 98 years hitting his 733 and under accomplishments it does not mentioned it for him nor was there a news article that even talked about it what the heck?

Similar thing happened in my fictional league, I wrote the news article then pretended I didn't.

What aging and development settings do you use?
