What is the best way to edit a pitcher's ratings to get his stats more realistic?

I import the players from the Baseball-Reference Database, but the stats are not complete... a lot of them are missing... I get stats from other sources to come as close to the real stats as possible.

I am replaying the Southern Association from the 40s and 50s... I have played the 1947 season and the 1948 season... now getting ready for the 1949 season... I use the newspaper archives to get the real box scores so my historical lineups are correct and the pitching matchups are correct on a game-by-game basis.

I use the Player Editor to edit the ratings for each year for each player... it works well for the batters, but not well for the pitchers. (see screenshot)

I enter the IP, HRA, BB, K, HB, WP in the Ratings Editor, but the ERA is not correct... it is usually much higher than it should be... I'm sure pitch repertoire, movement, stuff and control ratings affect it.

Why doesn't the Ratings Editor allow you to pitch HA in? That might be part of the problem.

I just play around with the HRA, BB and K until I get something close to the actual ERA for that season.... but usually the BB and K are not close to real life.

I inserted John Hall's real 1949 stats below in the ratings editor.. his real ERA was 3.08... not 4.60 as you see on the Screenshot below.

Much appreciate your help.
