Taking a look at Pete Hill under the hood in the OOTP24 database, it is easy to see why he's "struggling" to get playing time in your Control Test. His real life stats are designated "Single A level" for the majority of his career from 1904-1908. You saw a bump in ratings in 1905 as expected (Triple AAA stats).
It is interesting that the 1907-1908 NACBP that Hill participated in is given Major League status in the database. He won't see that level of ratings bump until 1920 but his recalc during the interim will roller coaster from Single A to Triple A. It will be interesting to see how his ratings fluctuate during this time.
