User offensive output crashes in middle of season

I don't know if this is a bug, but it seems to be. I'll describe as best I can.

I'm playing a historical league with a 1980s style of play. Almost every year, somewhere between mid-May and mid-June, my team's offense drastically declines. Guys go from performing near their talent to far under their talents. My team will have about 2 guys continue performing normally, the rest will underachieve badly.

This results in a loss of HR and hits generally. As an example, in my most recent season my team was at 21 straight games and counting with 10 hits or less, except for a game I replayed 8 times just to see how many replays I would need to get more than 10 hits. This, despite my team's strikeout rate being below the league average. (League BA is ~.265)

Other seasons have seen similar nosedives in BA and power, like when a guy who led the league in 2b and 3b the previous year went over 30 games without hitting either one.

Maybe there is some setting I have that is producing this, but I've been playing since OOTP6, and I feel like (hope?) I know the menus and settings pretty well.

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong, or is this an issue/bug with the game?

It’s frustrating because I’ve loved this game for years but won’t keep playing if this sabotages my chances.

Thank you for looking into this if possible. I hope I've uploaded the league files correctly, but it's my first time trying, so forgive me if I make a mistake. The league files should be RB1879.zip.
