Me too. Comparing your phenomenal masher to RL Hall-of-Famers, that career BA would be well below anyone else. Schalk has the lowest = .253, followed by Killebrew = .256, and then Maranville = .258.
The OBP of .356 would be near the bottom as well--above Maranville's .318 and Shalk's .340.
Schalk was way ahead of his time and in RL represented the prototypical OOTP catcher in terms of value for a Dead Ball Era historical sim. He was considered one of the best defensive catchers of all time, gets you a hit every one out of 4 at-bats, and had very good speed on the base paths as a bonus.
