This is certainly not just a bug. It has been a feature of the game's system at least since OOTP4, and into the present day, that a young major league player is significantly more likely to go way downhill than a similar player in his mid-to-late 20s.

I am facing an extreme example, and that seems to be a result of using the game's (intentionally included) feature of specified age ranges. But I've never done that before, and it's always been true that young players decline the fastest in OOTP. It's a design philosophy. I will bring it up in the Suggestions forum. I will make the arguments I've made here. But I used this forum because the problem's existence is more-than-not intentional, and I wanted a work-around. I found something that might help -- thanks, again, TB! -- so I'll call it a success.
