Since he had 134 real-life AB in 1957, his ratings are only going to be adjusted and not weakened. You would have to set your weakened threshold to something like 150 AB, which would be extreme. When he starts with a .403 average, he is still going to have great contact, even with an adjustment. It's just an unfortunate reality of historical stats and the adjust/weaken settings. But it's a bigger problem with historical minors, because there are a lot of players in historical minors who had remarkably good stats, even at low levels of the minors, and they get really high ratings, even as rookies.
For example, a guy who hit .360 and put up other great offensive numbers in class A will often get ratings that make him a potential MLB starter as soon as he's created. I posted this issue and quite a few examples in the bugs forum when OOTP 24 was released, and we got some improvements in ratings calculations for historical minors. But more work needs to be done, because I continue to see cases where minors players with fantastic stats are given MLB-level talent. I've actually deleted some rookies rather than deal with it, especially if they never made it to the majors anyway. However, cases like your Bob Hazle random debut can't really be fixed, because he produced his stats at the MLB level. Guys like that fall outside the range of typical adjust/weaken settings.
