Went back over the data and found some more information that's even more compelling.
2012 MLB Top Hitters aged 30+ out of 105: 44 total equals 41%
2022 MLB Top Hitters aged 30+ out of 105: 25 total equals 23%!!!!!!!!!
That is one drastice decline. The thing I noticed when going through the actual numbers was that in 2012 you had a variety of age ranges in the 30+ category. For instance some were 30-32 but there were others that were 34-38 older. Not as many but a solid base to go off of.
In 2022 out of the 25 most were 30-32 with no one really above 34. I did think I saw one 34 but that was about it.
I'm trying a new sim with the new patch and age mods set to .900. Will give the results soon.
