the number total in OTPB is 5451
ajusting for two more teams there should be about 5201 homers hit in a season
to get closer to the number i wanted i changed back to default settings, then changed the HR modifier to .96 (thinking 4 percent of 5451 would be 218, which would get me closer to that 5201 HR mark)


The batting average in baseball last year was .264 (thats a league average)
according to the league totals, BA would be about .266

I changed the modifier to .993, which would lower the BA to about .264

the only other thing I changed was Double plays, which I changed to 1.05. maybe these changes will cut down on the offense a bit.

I thought everything else was alright and would yield realistic results(I hope).
Whatever works. That seems like a good approach.

One question. I don't see a BA modifier anywhere in league totals.

Take a look at my screen.
