An ironic thing about the reduction in the talent pool is that our old guys are beating up on younger, crappier players.
In 2022, the MLB average age of a fWAR was 27.8 years old. In the 2053 BBA, the average age of a WAR was 30.4 years old. Brewster batters are, on average, two and a half years older than the baseball players we watch on TV.
The shape of the aging curve of the BBA compared to MLB is strange (and even MLB has a couple weird blips).
The average MLB pitching fWAR was 28.8 years in 2022. Brewster pitchers averaged 28.9 years per WAR in 2053. In MLB, the offensive players were exactly one year younger than their pitching adversaries. On the ther hand, the much older batters in our league are succeeding against typically 1.5 years younger--and by assumption inferrior--competition on the mound.
The pitching curves are more similar.

Definitely something to keep in mind for planning.

Me too man. I really think it could change some league dynamics because it's going to require a new plan and there will be many ideas. but only a few will have the right idea!CTBrewCrew wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2023 7:29 pmThink of the children!
