Huh, the league wide total isn't notably up either (that difference is about 300 Ks league wide at actual 2022 AB totals). My only guess would be a lot of the deadball era batters have very high avoid K ratings so the strikeouts needed to get leaguewide totals in line are being pushed to the smaller pool of players with the low avoid K ratings. I'm not even sure if that is how the engine works, but it's the only thing that seems to line up with the facts.
