I've simmed hundreds of seasons over the past couple days tweaking development rates and this is the closest I can get to 2017 MLB ages:
Bat Age: .900
Bat Dev: 2.500
Pit Age: 2.200
Pit Dev: 1.625

first, this is awesome stuff.
there are other factors that will influence this though, like player AI evaluation. basically anythign that affects player usage or considers age etc, even trading settings, possibly. i assume this is mostly default or 'challenge mode' etc?
stats lag behind ratings / ratings are lead indicators, so i'd assume that heavy stats in player eval may help keep older players around ~+1 extra year at least.
this graph shows that most don't make it to mlb by 25 (older post above thought it was odd)... and important to know any RL "line" is in itself lacking some integrity... it may be a lower, middle or higher range etc of what was possible. . impossible to re-run that bit of time over and over again, so it's always a bit of a guess. more data creates better guesses.
