I'm starting to think that a major problem with regards to pitching not matching is that OOTP doesn't seem to be able to model certain types of pitchers. For example, look at any guy with significantly less hits allowed than IP and if his strikeout totals are low, OOTP can't seem to correctly model him.

Take Phil Niekro and Catfish Hunter. If you go to edit their ratings, you'll see that in order to get the strike out totals to match, the hits allowed totals will be much higher than in RL. If you can edit Phil Niekro and get his expected totals for hits allowed and strike outs to come even close to his 1974 performance, let me know how you did it.
