Average is a bit high because of the short season, players smaller sample size allows for a player with a hot month to have an incredible average. .400 has been hit 5 times in 15 years. 162 game averages of players seem to be on par with what I'd expect a normal player to have, despite the fact that it takes 2+ seasons to get the 162 games in.
I hadn't thought of doing this either, and now am curious as well. I have a 96 game league (72 in the minors).

A strict ratio would be 162/96 = 1.6875 as a modifier. For you it would be 162/76 = 2.1316. 1.4 / 1.5 works for you though?

I hope others can speak to the development modifier more specifically.
