Larry Doyle was 3rd in MLB in home runs in 1910. So, the way the neutralization process is going to see it is that Larry Doyle should hit home runs at a rate that would make him around 3rd in the league against modern pitching.
I mean, it doesn't do it exactly like that...it looks at the rate of home runs for Doyle vs. the rate of home runs for the average hitter in the league and extrapolates that into a home run rating that should convert to the same rate above/below average for whatever period environment he is placed into.
