Not sure that is true. It isn't the same for every player. I have had guys maintain batting and fielding after 30. A peak year then is just variation from the mean for the ratings. A set of rating doesn't give pre-determined stats. So a 31 y/o could have a peak year but it is highly unlikely his ratings got better more likely he just got lucky with the RNG.
I have had some players particularly pitchers peak after 30. I have also seen a 28 y/o develop the third pitch enough to go from bullpen/emergency starter to a starter. So it isn't hard and fast a player will stop developing at 27 or decline after 30. Players can get better after 27 but on average that is about when they stop developing.
