What is the deal with the strikeouts in this game?

I started in 1969 and just finished 1981 and Nolan Ryan hasn't had one 300 strikeout season. In fact, he's only averaging 8.4 K/9 for his career. His only season with a K/9 over 9 was 1973 where he struck out 156 in 143 innings.

By comparison, Nolan had five 300 K seasons by this point and had seven full seasons with a K/9 of at least 9.

I seem to remember this from previous versions. Why can the game not neuter outlier performances like this? I suspect Randy Johnson will get equally neutered when he debuts as will Billy Wagner...

The game can handle Babe Rith hitting 4-5x as many home runs as the other players in his generation. Why can't it handle guys striking out significantly more batter than anyone else in their generation?
