Well, I obviously can't make them pitch underhand or not use gloves, but I've edited all of the players' fielding percentages and I use league totals to come up with results that I think are pretty realistic - about as close as I can get with the current game engine. I've currently played up to late September 1874, and my career home run leader has six homers. Also, no pitcher has more than about 70-75 career strikeouts, and most have a lot less than that. The walk totals are similar.

It's not perfect, but it's about the best I can do with the current engine.
