Thanks for getting it back on point.
It's clear data quality is an issue. For example, in my test sim, Owen Smaulding is the dominant pitcher of his era. He has a nice Wikipedia article, but also a real-life 5.42 ERA according to his profile. Regardless, the relatively low imported HR and BB (and relatively respectable 3.68 FIP) credited him to have 80 movement/75 control ratings at his peak. In particular, the HR rate was probably unrealistically low. With the "three true outcomes" model, it might be more realistic to extrapolate the HR from the ERA than assume that all home runs were counted in his stats.
