I've had a similar issue. I created a test fictional league in 1985 and ran it through to the end of 2022. I used default settings for everything and have it set to automatically adjust league totals each season.
In the home run leaderboards, there are:
3 80+ HR seasons (from 3 different players)
6 70+ HR seasons
39 60+ HR seasons
The career home run leader has 1187(!!!) and played for 23 seasons.
I compared the 2018 numbers in my fictional league to the real-life American League numbers (since my league uses the DH).
The American League had 1.19 HR per game league-wide in 2018. My fictional league had 1.42 HR per game. So the issue might be with league totals and not with individual ratings distributions.
There were also 9 players with 3000 hits over the 38-season sim which seems high but isn't out of the realm of possibility.
Pitching stats seemed pretty realistic on the other hand.
Obviously this is just one sim and it could be an outlier but my first impression is that something definitely seems off with the league totals in this version.
