Yes, there was a Willie Mays who pitched in the minors and I think the Willie Mays used in my sim is the same Willie Mays, but I believe the game thinks this pitcher Willie Mays is the same as the legendary Willie Mays, the outfielder. Not sure what database the game uses to auto import players, but the historical id on the pitcher Willie Mays in my game is the same as the Willie Mays, the legendary OF, mayswi01

So if the game is importing the wrong Willie Mays I believe that does make it a glitch or a bug

Anyway, I went ahead and manually imported the 1951 Willie Mays the OF and he's now starting his rookie year in my 1954 season. Since this is a historical fiction league I can live with that. My concern is that there will be other players I will encounter the same problem.
