I have never done this myself. I suggest you make a backup of your league file first. Verify the change works, then delete the backup.
Go to the league setup screen. Click on database. There you will see on the right side something similar. "This game uses the default database folder Z:\OOTP Baseball 22\data\database" Click on EDIT. Change the location to your D: drive.
Since you have more that one hard drive I would install the game to D:\Games\OOTP Baseball 22\. This is more organized. You won't fill up your C: drive which is usually a SSD drive that has limited space. OOTP does not need the faster speed that SSD drives provide. This is my opinion and experience. I have never had a game that needed the speed SSDs provide. Games load a little slower but you can measure the difference in less than a minute. OOTP's use of 64 bit has speed up the loading times from the last version.
