New player here - I understand that the sim normalizes hitting/pitching/fielding/range, but haven't seen anything about the sim normalizing Stolen Base %, Stolen Base Attempts, or any other stolen base metric across eras. Does anyone have insight into this?

I don't know for sure, but if so it's not nearly as large an effect as something like home runs.

I am pretty sure the answer is no.

Correct, no normalization on SB, SBA, SB%, SBO, or C arm, CS%, etc… basically everything related to SB is RL values with exception for seasons with missing data on SB/CS then they use a regression to estimate them.
