IRL in 1974, BABIP in the AL ranged from .269 - .292. That's 23 points between the highest and lowest team BABIP. So, in your view, it doesn't matter where a team falls within that range in OOTP, since it'll still be within about 20 points of real life. The team with the highest team BABIP in real life could have the lowest team BABIP in OOTP (and vice-versa) . . . but that's no problem. That's close enough. I guess you're easy to please.
