I ran a bunch of replay seasons for another purpose but looked at the pitcher data from them...

This data does not speak to the issue of capturing real historical outliers. But I think it shows that outliers are possible and that defense and GB/FB ratio matter and can influence how pitchers' stats turn out in a career in the game.
