Performance through the ages

By Tangotiger, 12:02 PM

Poz gives us an overview.

The only consideration you MAY have is that you have the peak in mid to late 20s because that’s when you have the most number of players to begin with (you can’t have 100 players at 6 WAR at age 18, if you don’t have 100 players to begin withl but you don’t have that, because they are not good enough at age 18).

Anyway, you could add the RATE of players who get 6 WAR, and that will give you… well… something. I don’t know what, but, something maybe.
