It's based on the
professional debut, not the major league debut. Saberhagen started his professional career in 1982 when he was drafted.
The Gambo database does exactly this sort of thing. If you want more accurate results, you should edit the database so that it is the regular Lahman database until 1985 and Gambo after that. I'm not sure how much he changed, so I'm not sure how much editing you would have to do.
Or you could clear pre-sim stats.
I don't think there's any other way around this. You give up accuracy of the past for getting guys' debuts sooner.
