Change GBC Rookie League Age Limit

Post by jiminyhopkins » Fri Nov 15, 2024 10:04 am

Many of the draftees in the GBC this season are older than 21, which means they cannot start at Rookie League. Since we don't have SA, they have to go to A ball.

Can we change the GBC Rookie League requirement to 23 yrs old so these new draftees can start at the appropriate level?

Thanks to the almighty GB for your gracious consideration!

Looks like it was 123 of the 341 players in the draft pool were 22 years or older. So a significant portion.

Makes sense to have it match the SA age limit in the BBA since they don't have SA.
