To wit, here are the 8 year averages for your league:
AVG: +0.8%
2B/AB: +2.6%
3B/AB: +6.0%
HR/AB: +5.5%
BB/PA: +2.9%
K/AB: +4.1%
R/G: -6.7%
SB/1B: -5.2%
SB%: -7.0%
FLD%: +0.2%
BABIP: +0.3%
Nothing's really too far out of line with RL, but most of it is in the plus column. My guess as to why R/G is down is that there are more HR, BB, and K (fewer balls in play), and there's fewer SB attempts, and the SB% in those attempts is quite a bit worse than real life.
