Just imported 1948 Jim Hegan, who per Baseball Reference had 31 unintentional walks and 17 IBB in 472 AB. Proportionally, he should import with Resulting Stats of about 35-36 BB per 550 AB for an Eye/Patience rating (in my league -- not sure how ratings work elsewhere) of 70-72. Instead, he imports with Resulting Stats of 55 BB for an Eye/Patience rating of 105, which is more in line with the game using his full walk total of 48. That's a pretty big discrepancy.
