I just imported Johnny Bench, Yogi Berra, Jim Hegan and Roy Campanella from the Lahman Database to see what their passed ball ratings were... They were all rated at "4". In real life they should be rated "1" or "2".
Marcus said he would fix this for OOTP5.
It could be fixed in the game, while the Lahman Database imports all catchers with a "4" rating. The Lahman Database imports many things and just randomly assigns ratings...I have found it not to be reliable for passed balls, fielding range and arm strength for all players. I research the Baseball-Reference website and assign ratings based on it. Even this is really only good for fielding percentage. For the other categories you have to make an educated guesstimate.
If the catchers in your 2001 league are all rated "4"... they will have 15 to 20 passed balls per 162 games...IF MARCUS DID NOT FIX IT.
If a "4" rated catcher in your league ends up with a number ranging from 2 to 6 passed balls per 162 games...THEN HE REPAIRED IT.
Marcus usually does what he says...It's the Lahman database thats causing the confusion. I think.
