Overall, that variance seems okay. I wonder, though, if a league-wide setting will result in the SB real-life outliers to not be such outliers in the sim.
My other thought is that perhaps those leaders were caught a lot more often in the sim. Cobb wasn't all that successful a base stealer in real life, percentage-wise, at least during the years that they tracked the statistic, but he really shouldn't have run in your replay.
